Today, the Fair Budget Coalition of the District of Columbia, composed of over 75 organizations and 20 community members, launches its
MAKE ONE CITY POSSIBLE CAMPAIGN.
To participate in the Campaign, email makeonecitypossible(at)gmail.com.
With your support, we urge the Mayor, Deputy Mayors, and Agency Directors who are currently drafting the District’s Fiscal Year 2013 Budget to Make One City Possible by investing in policies and programs that
CREATE OPPORTUNITIES TO LIVE AND WORK IN THE DISTRICT.
To create opportunities for people to live in the District, the new budget will have to include funding for affordable housing, homeless shelters, disability assistance, health insurance, and crime victim assistance. Additionally, coordination among government agencies can improve opportunities without additional cost.

To create opportunities for people to work in the District, the new budget will have to include funding for adult education and literacy, childcare, and supports for homeless families. In addition, better policies could improve work opportunities without additional cost.

We also recommend ways for the District to raise revenue as an option for the
FY13 Budget.

Thank you for your personal interest in the well-being of our City and all its
residents.
