The Workers Circle Visits Congressional Offices in Washington, DC
Sammie, Ann, and Noelle with Rep. Cori Bush, D-MO. The Congresswoman’s staff loved our democracy circles as a way to deepen grassroots engagement and Noelle will be following up with them with more information.
As the 118th Congress opened, CEO Ann Toback, Director of Social Justice Noelle Damico, and Washington, DC-based Public Policy Consultant Sammie Moshenberg met with House and Senate leaders in Washington, DC. They discussed the Workers Circle's legislative priorities for the next session of Congress and made key connections that will bolster our impact. Check out photos below.

Ann with newly elected Congresswoman Deborah Ross (D-NC) and Congresswoman Cathy Manning (D-NC). North Carolina is ground-zero for voter suppression and gerrymandering that is leading to minority rule in our nation. They were pleased to know we’re signatories on the Moore v. Harper amicus and coordinated a Jewish sign-on letter to increase public knowledge about how this case risks upending our nation’s checks and balances on state legislatures.
We thought you’d like this nice shot of the US Capitol as the sun set at the close of a long and fruitful day of Workers Circle advocacy.
