Committee on Public Works & Operations Budget Oversight hearings schedule
Budget oversight hearings begin this morning. Your voice matters as we begin this process. This is your budget, and it should reflect the values and voices of District residents. I encourage you to testify at the upcoming budget oversight hearings.

‼️Stop the Permanent Expansion of the Youth Curfew‼️
TOMORROW 🗣️ Tuesday 4/21, DC Council votes on the permanent juvenile curfew. Curfews aren’t prevention; they’re a failure to invest in youth.
Call & email DC council & tell them to vote no! Youth need opportunities, not over-policing.

Not to be those guys, but it IS that deep.
DC's budget story has never been a neutral one, and racial justice, equity, and local autonomy MUST be a core part of the new narrative we write together.

So, you heard the Mayor's budget dropped. Now what?
We really enjoyed reading this budget breakdown from @dcfpi.bsky.social that helps residents more easily understand DC's complex budget process:

Exciting update:
Late this afternoon we learned that the CFO Glen Lee decided to make most of the budget materials available online, per his original timeline and promise.
Congratulations to us for holding CFO Lee accountable! 👏
Check out the materials here: cfo.dc.gov/node/289642
#WeGotUsDC
Good morning!
If you haven't already, please take 5 minutes to tell CFO Lee to release his budget materials by 5 pm today:

No reasoning, no communication, no care for the impact of his actions on the people doing the REAL work to build a better budget 🤧
#WeGotUsDC
Tell CFO Lee to stick to his deadline and send the budget materials TOMORROW (APRIL 10) by 5 pm:
bit.ly/CFOLee-Apr10
Also, let's ask ourselves....is it sustainable to have a CFO that has zero accountability to us, yet causes SO much strife with his "independent" decision making? 🧐

Send CFO Lee a letter today:

There's no public reason for a delay, and it's not fair to the community members, advocates, Council and their staff waiting on him to drop his budget materials.

CFO Glen Lee is pulling the ball *again* from us
The public, advocates, & Council expected the budget chapters Fri 5 pm, *per his letter stating this,* to get a jump on these ahead of spg break. Now Lee says not til Tues
STICK TO YOUR SCHEDULE @ocfo-dc.bsky.social! We need accountability & info!
Majority of the DMV residents being arrested by ICE have no prior criminal record.
This is what abuse of power looks like.

We'll help you weave this year's FBC recommendations into your story to create a powerful, impactful testimony that moves Council towards a people-centered FY27 budget!
Budget Oversight Hearings were set to start this week, but the timeline has shifted as we await the budget.
Tomorrow, the Council will vote to receive it on April 14, setting the public hearing schedule.
We’ll share our committee schedule soon.

Grateful to have enjoyed the beautiful weather this past weekend at Peace Day 2026! ☮️
It's not a joke — it's just disrespectful.
The Mayor did not release her budget today, and also has been terrible at communicating changes in the budget schedule to our community members.
We deserves leaders that see accountability as a core value of their role, not an optional add-on.
#WeGotUsDC
Congratulations on hosting a successful candidate forum @wearedcaction.bsky.social and @dcjwj.bsky.social and thank you to all candidates who showed up, listened, and shared with our community!
DC deserves strong, responsive leadership committed to taking care of our people.
How do we live a life of unwavering commitment to justice away from mass protests and rallies? Here some thoughts.

A dark red quote graphic from ACLU-D.C. executive director Monica Hopkins with white text that reads: "While the Trump administration shrouds agents' behavior in secrecy and allows federal law enforcement to act with no repercussions, the District can and should be accountable to the people by showing how these agents are treating us. That’s the first step toward accountability for the abuse and degrading of our rights that the administration has undertaken." The ACLU-D.C. logo is in blue text in the bottom left corner.
We are deeply disappointed in D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser's veto this week of an emergency legislation unanimously passed by the D.C. Council that provides greater transparency during interactions involving both federal agents and local law enforcement.
