A Unique Moment

The challenges currently facing the District of Columbia have made concerted, coordinated citizen action more important than ever. One organization is uniquely positioned to serve as a coordinating body for citizens' interests.

A Special Organization

The purpose of the Federation is

  • to work for the strengthening of residential communities and neighborhoods

  • to provide a forum for the expression and interchange of opinion

  • to further the interests of the people of the District of Columbia

  • to secure and make effective united action

The Federation's activities involve issues of local as well as citywide interest, and may include testifying on behalf of the citizens of the District before District agencies, before the Control Board, and before the Congress of the United States.

The Federation also serves as liaison with Congressional staff members on matters important to District citizens, and engages in litigation when necessary. It also works in concert with other citizen organizations to accomplish specific goals.

Membership

Membership in the Federation is available to any citizens association that includes within its purposes the advancement of its community's interests and those of the people of the District of Columbia.

Member associations should have at least 25 paid members, hold regularly ordered meetings, and be organized for civic work. By joining the Federation, an association in no way limits its liberty of action on any subject.

Member associations may send up to three voting delegates to each monthly meeting, normally held on the second Tuesday of each month from September through June. Meetings take place at the Sumner School. Dues at $60 annually.
