DC Vote is a 501 (c)(3) educational and advocacy organization dedicated to securing full voting representation in Congress for the residents of the District of Columbia. We've launched a national public awareness campaign to educate constituents about DC's denial of a vote in Congress. We're visiting states where Senators are filibustering the DC Voting Rights Act and keeping the dream alive at home in the District. Read all the latest and post your comments. We welcome your input!
