[mgj-discuss] Quality of Service Hearings and Testimony Training!

[Ruth Castel-Branco]

The DC City Council will be holding hearings on the quality of utility
services in DC on February 7th and February 9th.These hearings come at a
time when the DC government is looking to deregulate the
telecommunications sector and we need every bit of help to convince
council members that companies cannot be trusted to regulate
themselves!

DC JwJ is collecting info about Verizon to present at the hearing as
part of our campaign to hold them accountable for how they treat
customers in DC. Take our on-line survey at http://www.connect-dc.org
and sign up to testify!

Haven't testified before and feel a little nervous? No worries. In
collaboration with DC ACORN and the Fair Budget Coalition, DC Jobs with
Justice will be organizing a FREE workshop to help you prepare your
testimony for the hearings. Saturday, Feb. 2nd at 2:30pm at St. James
Episcopal Church, 222 8th St, NE. RSVP to rcastel at dclabor.org

The hearings are being held by Councilmember Mary Cheh and the
Committee on Public Services and Consumer Affairs and will take place on
Thursday, February 7, 10:00 a.m., in the fifth floor council chambers
and on Saturday, February 9, at 11:00 a.m., in room 412. John A. Wilson
Building, 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. You can testify about problems
with any DC utilities, including Pepco, Washington Gas, Comcast, and
Verizon.
