DC Vote Needs You!
The mission of DC Vote is to teach the public and Congress about the need for District citizens to enjoy full voting representation in the US House and Senate. The group is gearing up for DC Voting Rights Day on April 15, and it needs your help.
Numerous events will take place that day to raise public awareness and engage District residents, including an annual rally on Freedom Plaza at 5 p.m. So please come out on Thursday, Feb. 27, at 6:45 p.m. to the DC Vote office at 1500 U St. NW for the first volunteer/supporter meeting focusing on DC Voting Rights Day. Help is needed in the following areas: planning/logistics, publicity, speakers bureau, outreach to high schools, colleges/universities, ANCs, civic organizations, businesses, faith-based organizations and coordinating events with DC councilmembers.
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.
