Hello!

Thank you so much for joining DC Community Wealth Builder's March Community Briefing and Welcome to our newest Community Wealth Builders! Please find slides for our presentation linked here

As we get ready to fight for a DC Land Bank, DC Public Bank, and infrastructure to support for Cooperative Conversions, here are some next steps we invite you to:
  1. This Thurs, 4/2, 4-7pm at The Roost, Testimony Prep & Happy Hour: Let's hang out! We will enjoy Happy Hour at The Roost (1401 Pennsylvania Ave. SE, Washington, DC 20003) while DC CWB organizers will guide you through how to write and sign up to give DC budget testimony. Your voice is essential to make our vision for economically empowered communities a reality!
  2. Fri, 4/3, 10 AM on Zoom, Monthly Coalition Meeting: Join our monthly virtual meeting where we will share updates, debrief the Community Briefing, and discuss our goals for Budget Season. This is a good chance to see how our coalition works and get more involved. New folks are very welcome!
If you have joined our Google Group, you should see each of these events on your Google Calendar. Please let me know by texting or responding to this email if you do not see it or would like to be added. We will also have an additional Testimony Prep Session and our Monthly In-Person Work Session later in April, but stay tuned for more details. 

Thank you so much! We are thrilled to be in community with you and look forward to building a brighter future together. 

Best,

Abi
