THANK YOU to everyone who called the Mayor's office on Monday, May 8! A very large number of calls made a strong show of community support for IDA.
We know everyone is very busy and that it's hard to stay energized. But one more round of calls is needed to the Council, because we are still hearing that IDA will not be funded in FY 2001.
On Wed., May 10 or Thurs.,
May 11, please call Councilmembers:
| Charlene Drew Jarvis (Ward 4) | 202-724-8052 |
| Sharon Ambrose (Ward 6) | 202-724-8072 |
| Kathleen Patterson (Ward 3) | 202-724-8062 |
| David Catania (At Large) | 724-7772 |
| Chairperson Linda Cropp (At Large) | 202-724-8032 |
Let them know that you want them to find $4.3 million to put into the Department of Human Services FY 2001 budget for Interim Disability Assistance (IDA), so that newly disabled residents can live with dignity and independence.
· Please have as many people as possible to call!
