There are only a few months leading up to the most historic primaries under DC’s Home Rule, and Fair Budget wants to ensure that candidates are focused on and accountable to building community-centered budgets for DC. We do not want empty promises or campaign talking points that do not ultimately result in real, actionable policies that serve the greater good of our neighbors. In order to do so, we have to be able to articulate that vision in ways that hold potential electeds accountable to moving that vision into real, actionable policy legislation. 

The Fair Budget Civic Power working group serves to unite everyday residents and voters to build community and collective power to win a budget that works for everyone, not just those at the top. We work to hold elected officials accountable and engage candidates to advance policies that confront systemic social, racial, and economic inequality and deliver transformative change for the District.
