20+ National Organizations to U.S. House: Oppose all attacks on DC

The U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on two bills on Wednesday that attack the District of Columbia. These are among more than 40 bills this Congress has introduced that attempt to undo local laws or attack local programs in the nation’s capital. The House has already passed seven such bills; four more are expected to come for a vote before the House before the end of the year.

Attempts to dismantle DC's local governing power are part of the Trump’s administration’s systematic attacks on American communities and democracy.

A coalition of more than 20 national organizations — and growing — is formally opposing these and all attacks against DC. On Monday, November 17, these organizations sent a letter to members of the U.S. House urging them to vote no on both bills about for DC that are up for votes this week, and all attacks on DC’s local autonomy.
