I Heart My Readers
Who would've thought that there would be so much activism on Valentine's Day? It's not a day off from work or school, and it's usually reserved for matters of romance.

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.
