On Thursday, September 18, the U.S. House Oversight Committee will hold a hearing with Mayor Muriel Bowser, DC Council Chair Phil Mendelson, and DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb.
Join Free DC at this hearing to make it clear that Congress can’t talk about DC residents without hearing from DC residents.
We encourage you to attend this hearing for one 2-hour shift: either 9:00-11:30 AM, or 11:30 AM-2:00 PM. We will want a strong presence for the full hearing.
Our presence at this hearing will involve active conversations with members of Congress in the hallways. If you are chatty and outgoing, this is the event for you! We’ll go over some key tips with what to know when you arrive.
This hearing will take place at the House Visitor Center, Room 210. This location is inside the Capitol Visitor Center, which has security screenings similar to an airport. Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your desired attendance time in order to get through security.
