Defending Home Rule: How Can We Fight Back
Join us to hear from our two guest speakers:
Trent Holbrook, Sr Legislative Counsel in the office of Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC)
Alex Dodds, Free DC Project
Why Attend?
With the latest actions from Congress and the current Administration, DC Home Rule faces a growing threat. Here’s what we know:
Multiple efforts are underway to weaken or repeal Home Rule.
Bills to eliminate it entirely have been introduced in both chambers.
Any rollback only delays our fight for full autonomy and statehood.
Now is the time to act. Let’s unite to defend DC’s right to self-governance and the authority of our elected Mayor and Council.
Trent and Alex will break down the political landscape, highlighting key challenges and opportunities for action.
As we brace for a new wave of anti-DC legislation, we must strategize, mobilize, and stand strong for Home Rule. The fight is now—let’s get to work.
