Building a District that Cares for All: DC Democratic Mayor and At-Large Councilmember Candidate Forum

The 2026 election will be a defining moment for the District. For the first time in 12 years, voters will elect a new mayor alongside new councilmembers, and their decisions will shape the future of our city for the next generation.
That’s why we need them to hear from you. From the programs and services that families and workers rely on every day — such as accessing medical care and paid family leave, bonding with a new child or caring for ourselves and our families when sick, protecting workers who provide care, and ensuring families have access to affordable child care and afterschool programs — we want to learn where they stand on the issues and hear about your priorities.
Join DC Action, DC Jobs with Justice, Under 3 DC, and a growing list of sponsors to hear from the Democratic candidates running for Mayor and At-Large Councilmember about how they will make DC a more caring place.
Date & Time: Sunday March 29 | Doors open at 2:30PM with the forum from 3:00PM – 5:00PM
Location: Festival Center – 1640 Columbia Rd NW.
Child care and interpretation will be available.

Construyendo Un Distrito que Cuida a Todos: Foro de Candidatos a la Alcaldía y al Concejal General

Las elecciones de 2026 serán un momento decisivo para el Distrito. Por primera vez en 12 años, los votantes elegirán a un nuevo alcalde junto con nuevos concejales, y sus decisiones moldearán el futuro de nuestra ciudad para la próxima generación.
Por eso necesitamos que se enteren de su opinión. Desde los programas y servicios de los que dependen las familias y los trabajadores a diario —como el acceso a atención médica y licencia familiar remunerada, la creación de vínculos con un nuevo hijo o el cuidado personal y familiar cuando estamos enfermos, la protección de los trabajadores que brindan cuidados y el acceso a guarderías y programas extraescolares asequibles para las familias—, queremos conocer su postura sobre los temas y conocer sus prioridades.
Únase a DC Action, DC Jobs with Justice, Under 3 DC y a una creciente lista de patrocinadores para escuchar a los candidatos demócratas que se postulan a la alcaldía y al concejo general sobre cómo harán de DC un lugar más solidario.
Fecha y hora: Domingo 29 de marzo | Las puertas abren a las 2:30 y el foro abre de 3:00 a 5:00.
Ubicación: Festival Center – 1640 Columbia Rd NW.
Habrá servicio de guardería e interpretación.
