don’t let them destroy dc!
They have every intention of taking over our city and our population by revoking Home Rule!
We will use our voice to demand fair representation!
City Services
Congress will oversee all city services without any feedback from DC citizens.
Schools
Congress will take over DC school curriculum and implement private vouchers.
Social Norms
Congress will institute strict abortion care restrictions, eliminate gun control measures, and revise minority protections.
Police
This Republican Congress will decide DC Criminal Code and commandeer the DC Metropolitan Police force.
Taxes
Tax distribution and property tax rates will be decided solely by Congress.
PROJECT 2025 DESTROYS ALL district AUTONOMY
DC has had self-governance for Fifty Years! During that time, DC has improved their bond rating, created a thriving public school system, created a budget surplus, and provided residents with a high level of services.
We are an active and engaged citizenry with strong and vibrant neighborhoods that reflect our values and protect our beautiful city – home to over 700,000 residents.
No More Local Voice
No More City Council
Trump has vowed to “take control of DC and not ever call the Mayor.” Congress could set up a Financial Board that dictated how our local taxes were spent, what services were offered, and what laws would be created without any voice from DC Residents to a council or their local ANC.
No More Values-Based Policy
Conservative Lockdown
Project 2025 says Congress will abolish critical race theory being taught in District schools, will revoke the legalization or marijuana, will put severe restrictions on abortion care, will create harsh penalties for protesting and other crimes, and will use the national guard and the DC Metropolitan police force to ensure compliance.
no accountability for local services
Federal control of 311 and City Services
If Congress revokes Home Rule, then all services will be decided by, monitored by, and executed by Congress. Congress will decide if our water has fluoride, how much of our tax dollars are allocated to social programs such as homeless shelters, how well our schools are funded, and what laws the national guard will enforce within city limits.
DC has more citizens than other states and Contributes more in federal taxes than other states
