On April 21st, nearly 30 philanthropic, business and nonprofit leaders joined WRAG in a public statement calling for fair and equitable treatment of the District of Columbia as part of federal stimulus legislation related to the COVID-19 crisis. Signers included the Greater Washington Board of Trade, Federal City Council, Maryland Philanthropy Network, Center for Nonprofit Advancement, Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, Housing Association of Nonprofit Developers, and a host of philanthropic organizations across the Greater Washington region.
The statement outlined the gravity of losing $750 million needed to address racial and economic inequities and to support thousands of small businesses, nonprofits, and over 700,000 residents. It noted the District’s important role in the operation of national sites and museums, and the federal government, its contribution to the nation’s tax base, and the established precedent of having treated DC as a state in other legislation.
