I am in Washington DC, my former home city, for #ECINEQ Meeting. I'm here, first time in 2025, taking it all in. Directly in front of my hotel, on New Hampshire Ave, is a strikingly dignified oak tree. It is named #Democracy Tree and it bears this plaque. The work goes on, the cause endures. #DCVote
How is social change achieved? It's not magic, it's all about organizing! At #DCVote Kelsye Adams mobilizes locally and nationally in support of #DCStatehood. And she co-founded @freedcproject.bsky.social to invite everyone to use their voice to advance #democracy. bit.ly/3YQK9rZ
TOMORROW is the 51st (hmm, interesting number!) anniversary of the passage of the #DistrictofColumbia Home Rule Act, giving D.C. residents a vote! We still don't have Congressional representation, but we do have 3 Electoral College votes, and a non-voting delegate! #TrinityDC #DCVote
Look we are the CAPITAL of the most powerful nation on Earth and yet we don't have voting right. #DCVote
Oh wait what are you talking about? /s
Learned today that weird status of DC largely due to mutiny that threatened Congress in Philly in early 1780s #DCVote #CuzHamilton
DC----->RT @teambmichael: @DCVote H.R. 3 Protest - 2day 530pm - Upper Senate Park. http://bit.ly/hvA2PV #dcvote
Hell yeah #dcvote! "@poundcoffee: Our concilman Wells being arrested at the Capitol http://yfrog.com/h2t4stmj"
So maybe if the next mayor drives up civility and lowers the cronyism he'll win? Because the opposite doesn't work. #dcvote
Gonna feel like a horrid sleepy a.m. if I stay up late & the Bad Ship Fenty-Rhee navigates out of rough waters. #dcvote
Seriously! RT @welovedc: WLDC is now prepared to call the DC Mayoral Primary for... The Goddamned Batman. #dcvote #omgwhenwillitend
