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.

FBC is proud to co-sponsor this event! We deserve candidates committed to leadership that takes care of all ❤️🔥

Big gratitude to @spacesinaction.bsky.social and @wearedcaction.bsky.social for your hard work in mobilizing and bringing out community, as well as organizing the afternoon Walkarounds to ensure impacted community members were able to have face time with councilmembers and their staff!

Mayor Bowser continuously chooses not to fund child care at the level it actually costs to operate, pushing the system into a crisis that is putting 1000's of employers, children, families, educators, and small businesses at risk.
FBC is proud to join the call to save DC's Child Care! #WeGotUsDC ⬇️

Nothing like spending the day with likeminded folks coming together to hand deliver budget recommendations dedicated to investing in care and sustainability for all of DC 🌱

THIS is what advocacy in #WashingtonDC looks like! We joined @fairbudgetdc.bsky.social in sharing their FY27 Budget platform with @councilofdc.bsky.social today, urging councilmembers to raise revenue from those with the most, protect our safety net, and defend DC's self-governance. #WeGotUsDC!!
We'll be joining the @fairbudgetdc walkaround tomorrow, where we will call for local leaders to develop a budget that invests in care and sustainability 🌱 #WeGotUsDC
@MayorBowser @ChmnMendelson, build a budget that allows DC to take care of our own.

🚨 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 🚨
