Move Over, New Hampshire! DC's Finally First!
Learn about the movement to make DC the site of the nation's first presidential primary in the 2004 campaign. Will this help Washingtonians obtain first-class citizenship? Will it put the spotlight on housing, health care and other "urban" issues? Will the candidates come? Get it straight from the organizers' mouths!
Find out what you can do to keep this movement moving. Join Sean Tenner of the DC Democracy Fund, Lawrence Guyot, member of the 1964 Mississippi Freedom Party, and others on Tuesday, April 22, at 6:30 p.m. at the National Council of Negro Women, 633 Pennsylvania Ave. NW (across from the Archives Metro at Seventh and Pennsylvania). Refreshments will be served. Call 202/232-2500, ext. 2, for more information.
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.
