Missoula Residents Lead the Fight with Protest at Local Event Featuring Sen. Max Baucus

Missoula residents and DC Vote supporters gathered on Saturday, May 3, at the University of Montana where Sen. Max Baucus was a featured speaker. Carrying signs supporting DC voting rights, they even had the opportunity to speak with the Senator directly and voice their concerns about DC's disenfranchisement. Thank you, Missoula!

Show us your DC Vote pride!

DC resident and Federal City Council Director, Jacque D. Patterson, wore DC Vote's "Let Washington Speak" t-shirt while running in the Georgia Marathon. Way to go, Jacque!

Thank you, Oregon!

It was a whirlwind week for DC Vote's Team Oregon. No one can say that our national public awareness campaign is not ambitious! Not only did we meet with students at five colleges and universities, we networked with everyone from the Portland Business Alliance, AFL-CIO, UFCW and the Urban League of Portland to the NAACP, League of Women Voters and Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians. And, that's just to name a few!

Everyone had invaluable insights on spreading the message of DC voting rights, far and wide. Thanks, Oregon! This is just the begining of a beautiful partnership.

Oregon: people, places and meetings galore (oh, and a few great meals!)

Catching up with another coaltion partner in Oregon!

Never one to miss an opportunity to connect, Eugene moves ahead on behalf of Team Oregon. Even after Nell and Jaline have left the state, he takes a meeting with Erik Sorenson of Oregon People for the American Way (PFAW) at our "regular" Team Oregon hang-out, the local Starbucks.
