Impact on Women & Girls
Last week, the mayor of Washington, D.C. presented her proposed 2018 budget, laying out a roadmap for inclusive prosperity. With $600 million more to spend than in the fiscal 2017 budget, Mayor Muriel Bowser’s $13.8 billion plan boosts funds devoted to housing, schools and street repairs, according to NBC Washington. With the new budget’s release, determining the impact on girls, women and their families is key to the future of the Washington region.
Here’s what we’re doing today:
Join Washington Area Women’s Foundation on April 13, 2017 at 1PM ET for the release of our report and webinar on the Mayor’s proposed 2018 D.C.
