Housing is a human right, and it's time our budget reflected that universal truth. In the face of growing housing insecurity, we need to see bold, decisive policies. @mayorbowser.dc.gov @chmnmendelson.bsky.social support FBC's Housing Security recommendations: bit.ly/WeGotUsDC #WeGotUsDC #DCBudget
🚨 More money for police isn't building trust or keeping us safe - investing in survivors and keeping our neighbors housed are how we achieve true community safety 🚨

From @legaiddc “For the record: Since day 1 of this budget cycle, we’ve been asking for *less than $50M* to save Alliance healthcare coverage for 28,000 members of DC’s immigrant community. That’s not even 0.3% of the total #DCbudget.” @legalaiddc www.legalaiddc.org/blogs/dc-bud...
D.C.’s $22B budget advances—but climate & healthcare take a hit.
❌ Cuts: solar access, river cleanup, safety-net hospitals
✅ $500M+ for RFK stadium
Final vote: July 28. Residents deserve health & environmental justice.

Mayor Bowser has proposed a FY26 #DCBudget and financial plan that abandons residents with the fewest resources to fend for themselves in the coming storm.
Read the DC Fiscal Policy Institute’s initial analysis of what’s in the mayor’s proposal: loom.ly/QxmLq4Q
Yesterday, the Mayor released her #FY26 budget, which abandons residents with the lowest incomes to fend for themselves just as DC enters a recession and Congress threatens to gut safety net programs. #DCBudget

Morning, DC! Today, Mayor Bowser is releasing her budget for the #FY26 fiscal year & her revised #FY25 budget. These delayed budgets will incorporate hundreds of millions of dollars in cuts from essential programs, & millions in spending for a new stadium in DC. #DCBudget
Immediately following the mayor's 11am FY26 #dcbudget presentation, All In for DC will hold a press conference outside MLK Library in response to the proposed budget & call on DC Council to raise revenue by taxing wealth in order to preserve the programs & services we care about.
Before this surgery, I did a series of phone calls to Republicans (yeah, I chose those) to ask them to restore DC's budget. They still haven't. I was told the hospitals will collapse if this isn't fixed soon. #Medicaid and health clinics will be defunded.

Congress had a chance to fix the $1.1 billion cut to the #DCbudget, and they haven't. That means hundreds of millions in cuts to this year's local services – locking up your local tax dollars. Hear directly from Charles Allen on where things stand:

Senate unanimously approves bill to restore $1.1B to D.C.'s budget, preventing major cuts to essential services. House to vote next week. #DCBudget
I am looking forward to hosting this conversation today with DC leaders about the crazy week that was on Capitol Hill. us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi... #DCbudget #DCstatehood
House votes for $1 billion in D.C. cuts while seeking to avert shutdown. Of all the cuts they have made, this infuriates me the most. It’s clearly racially motivated, stunningly obtuse and meant to inflict maximum pain. F them all to the farthest reaches of the universe. #DCbudget
