The Road Ahead: Strengthening DC's Economy

This 60-minute conversation will bring together subject matter experts to explore a bold vision for a thriving DC economy—one that moves beyond regressive models like attracting more high-income residents or trickle-down strategies focused on downtown development. Instead, we will examine how public investments in:

• Early childhood education,

• Affordable housing,

• Economic security initiatives, and

• Progressive revenue strategies

…can uplift DC’s Black, brown, and low-income communities, while benefiting the entire city. These policies are key to addressing racial and economic inequities, building stronger neighborhoods, and creating an inclusive future where all District residents can thrive and live to their fullest.

Consider to support the continuity of DCFPI’s public programming.
