The Washington Area Bicyclist Association, in cooperation with many other
District of Columbia environmental organizations, will hold a Mayoral
Candidates Forum on Thursday, June 29th to highlight key issues in the soon
to be released DC Environmental Agenda. Candidates will have an opportunity
to present their environmental vision for the District to residents and
explain their thoughts on issues that most directly impact the environmental
health of our communities. 

About the DC Environmental Agenda

In 1999, twelve District environmental organizations created the first ever
Environmental Agenda for the District of Columbia. This agenda was a
collaborative effort of citizen activists to chart a course for
environmental protection. It recognized that a new Mayor and Council would
have an opportunity to reverse some of the negative trends of years past and
promote working towards a more livable city for all residents. It made
recommendations, for action and drew upon the collective wisdom of many
District environmental leaders as well as successful initiatives in other
parts of the country. 

Today in 2006, the Summit Fund of Washington and over 30 environmental,
health, faith, citizen and civic organizations are answering a call to
action by participating in creating a new environmental agenda for the
District. This new agenda will build on the successes of the past six years
and will set a new standard of environmental excellence for the District. 

Together, these proposals will chart a course toward excellence in the
provision of city services and the protection of public health. As we
believed in 1999, restoration of environmental quality in the District is a
pro-business, pro-economic growth platform that more and more public
officials are starting to embrace and act on.
