Letter to the Mayor Regarding Migrant Arrivals

Ten members of the Council, including Councilmember Elissa Silverman, asked Mayor Bowser to take action regarding the influx of busses with migrants arriving from Texas and Arizona. Those actions include: asking for federal funds, assigning district staff to support the effort, finding respite space for new arrivals, and opening our checkbook to financially support the work of the groups that are helping.
