Come out to learn what ANCs are, how the Mayor and the DC Council work together, how the DC budget works, and how we as DC residents can access the District’s political system with the greatest potential for social change.
The Reclaim Rent Control campaign is calling for the DC Council to use the upcoming reauthorization of our rent control laws as an opportunity to strengthen rent control.
