The DC Council is deciding this week how it plans to close a $340 million budget shortfall.  Under Mayor Fenty's current proposal, over half of the cuts fall on human services.
It's time to save our safety net.  It's not too late to try and change course!

The Coalition for Community Investment has developed a website with a petition calling on Councilmembers to save our safety net.  Please help us spread the word about this petition so we can show widespread community support for protecting critical safety net services.

Here's the website: www.SaveOurSafetyNet.com
Here's who to tell:
- Your professional network
- Your social circle
- Your organization's action alert network
- Blog about it, tweet about it, post it to Facebook
This is worth it, now go do it.  www.SaveOurSafetyNet.com.
