Hi there,
It is performance oversight season in DC, meaning that you have a chance to testify on whether or not executive agencies have been doing their jobs. Never done this sort of thing before? Fear not! We'll be holding a training on Tuesday, February 11th. Register here and come with questions or proposed testimony that you would like to workshop. You can also view our previous trainings here and here.
We also included the next few oversight hearings on our calendar that most apply to our work. You can find them listed below for your convenience.
I also want to draw your attention to DC TEN's Teach-in for Transit Equity Day, to be held on Thursday, February 27th, where you can learn more about the Olmstead Plan for DC. Accessible transit is equitable transit.
This is just a sample of what is going on in the region. Read on to learn more. |
