Help Save MAC
The Millennium Arts Center (MAC) in Southwest Washington is the largest arts center in the city, a multidisciplinary home to more than 30 artists and arts organizations. So why is the DC government trying to shut it down?
Using questionable tactics, DC leaders are applying extreme pressure to lock out the arts and turn the building over to a top-dollar commercial/residential user. Your help is needed to raise public awareness about the government's callous attack on a major cultural resource for the city and the greater Washington region. Come to a rally to support the arts in DC on Friday, Oct. 24, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m., at the Wilson Building (1350 Pennsylvania Ave. NW).
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
