RSS FeedWant An Open DC Government?
It’s coming up on that time again…election season is in the fall and this year we have the big one for DC, the mayoral election. Yard signs are a plenty even in the urban core we call downtown DC and the Penn Quarter. The DC Open Government Coalition, a group dedicated to promoting transparency in the DC Government, is holding an after-work event focused on mobilizing the public to encourage candidates to address and commit to increased DC Government transparency during the upcoming campaign season. The DC Open Government Coalition is a nonpartisan, non-profit organization and does not support or oppose any candidate for office and this event is open to the general public.
Details can be found below…the event is in the Golden Triangle and easily accessed too!
