Pass the DC Local Funds Act
Since March 17, House Speaker Mike Johnson has delayed a bill with broad bipartisan support that would restore DC’s power to spend our local money.
Now, after more than two months of of inaction and $1.1 billion of local DC money still frozen, DC is on the brink of drastic cuts to programs and services that serve our communities and members of Congress alike. Here are the most recent updates about this campaign.
Show up at House Oversight on May 21
On Wednesday, May 21, the House Oversight Committee will hold a markup session on two bills dealing with DC – neither of which is the DC Local Funds Act. Join us to tell the Committee members DC wants the DC Local Funds Act and nothing else.
Send a letter to Speaker Johnson
On May 5 Speaker Mike Johnson said he would pass the DC Local Funds Act “as quickly as possible…we’re not delaying this for some political purpose or any intentionality. It’s just a matter of schedule, even at this point.” His delay is costing DC communities and reminds us that DC needs full power over our local budget. Send a letter to Speaker Johnson and the House Leadership telling him to prioritize the DC Local Funds Act.
