Events This Week

Friday March 13, 10am-2pm EDT, Recess at the Capitol

From: Free DC

Our children and families should never be caught in political crossfire. Congressional decisions are directly impacting DC schools, healthcare, safety, and basic stability — and our kids are paying the price.

On March 13, DC families are invited to join us to join us at the Senate to make one thing clear: Protect DC KIDS and FAMILIES!

Join DC parents, students, educators, and community leaders as we stand together for our city. When you protect DC families, you protect the nation’s capital.

Where: Senate Hart Building Lobby
