While I feel like we may have dodged a bullet in the last full budget cycle (DC budget), I am certain that the crisis is not over.
The last round of cuts which eliminated earmarks were more painful for
several nonprofits. I am still anxious that the worst is yet to
come.
The Coalition for Community Investment and Save Our Safety Net DC are hosting a community meeting on Thursday, Sept 17 from 6-8pm at Busboys and Poets (5th & K St. NW) to plan for future advocacy around the DC budget. This work is important and more budget cuts could negatively affect the lives of our neighbors who are most in need.
We need to continually prepare our case for why investing in nonprofits improves the quality of life for everyone and why nonprofits are the lifelines for our most vulnerable neighbors. I hope you will join us to help build a strong case for support.
