The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) has created a website dedicated to providing fast and accurate information about the impacts of sequestration and legislative alternatives for its members and other stakeholders. The website provides region-specific information, impact analysis by partner public interest organizations and state/local governments, and action alerts with information on when and where to reach out.

COG is an independent, nonprofit association that brings area leaders together to address major regional issues in the District of Columbia, suburban Maryland and Northern Virginia. COG’s membership is comprised of 300 elected officials from 22 local governments, the Maryland and Virginia state legislatures, and U.S. Congress.
