Pack the Hearing Room & Stop Cuts to the Safety Net

On Thursday May 10, the Fair Budget Coalition sponsored A Day in The Strife, an action at the Wilson Building in protest of Mayor Gray’s proposed cuts to the city’s budget, most of which will once again fall  on the backs of the poor.  For details of what’s in the budget and what’s left out, a good article to read is Kesh Ladduwahetty’s Washington Post article A Tea Party Budget for D.C.  The following video from a Day in the Strife highlights what’s at stake for DC residents who will be directly impacted.
