Recess at the Capitol Ceremonial Recognition Resolution of 2025

This ceremonial resolution honors the organizers and participants of "Recess at the Capitol," an advocacy event where over 700 District residents (including students and community members) urged Congress to restore the District's budget after a $1.1 billion cut in March 2025. It specifically recognizes the event's role in inspiring civic engagement, including student-led advocacy at a second event on April 7, 2025. The resolution has no legal effect but formally commends the organizers and participants for their efforts to promote civic participation.
