Join Mayor Vincent Gray, DC Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, DC Vote and rally sponsors on Saturday, June 25 at 11:00 AM for the White House Rally for DC Democracy. Together, we will tell President Obama: stand up for DC!

This week, the House Appropriations Committee passed a bill that would, once again, prohibit DC from using local tax revenue to provide reproductive healthcare for low-income women. It is crucial that President Obama take a firm stance in opposition to this congressional overreach in DC affairs.

Here are all the rally details:
