On April 1, DC Mayor Vincent Gray will propose his budget for fiscal year 2012. Righ now, DC faces a $322 million gap -which must be addressed through cuts to programs or generating new revenue-.
DC government has already made $600 million in cuts over the course of the recession, causing uncertainty in the funding of our programs.
We need more revenue to protect the programs we care about. Mayor Gray will decide this week what revenue measures to include and what programs to cut.
Mary's Center as part of the DC Fair Budget Coalition joins efforts and invites you to email the Mayor at vincent.gray@dc.gov and challenge him to raise 150 million dollars through new progressive revenue. We need your support so we can continue supporting our most vulnerable families!
