Dear Friends:
DC Vote is taking our message to the states again. This time, we're heading to Oregon. Staff members Eugene Kinlow, Nell Schaffer and Jaline Quinto will travel to Portland and Eugene from March 10-14 to meet with community groups, students and media in order to spread the message about DC voting rights. Already on the agenda are meetings with the Urban League, the Portland Business Alliance, Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, AFL-CIO, League of Women Voters, Jewish Student Union at Lewis and Clark College, Portland State University NAACP, and more. We'll end our trip with a co-sponsored social event with the Bus Project of Oregon. Check out our DC Vote On the Road Blog for daily updates, photos and videos of our trip into the states. We encourage you to lend your thoughts and comments to our blog as we tell constituents in the states about DC's disenfranchisement. Do you have a personal story or great photo of yourself in your "Taxation Without Representation" shirt? Did you take a vacation photo of yourself holding up your DC Vote bumper sticker? Post it to the blog or e-mail comments and photos to Jaline Quinto at jquinto@dcvote.org. As DC Vote takes our message into the states, we want to hear from you! Visit our blog and tell us about your experiences sharing the message of DC's denial of democracy. Ilir Zherka Executive Director |
