Recess at the Capitol Pt. 3

RECESS IS NOT OVER — WE’RE BACK FOR 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.

We’re returning to 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.

Our kids are not a bargaining chip. Our families are not collateral damage. Our Kids are not Your Battleground
