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.

Never stop outreaching: Eugene flies solo for a tabling event at the Urban League's Mayoral Forum

Team Oregon: still celebrating a victorious week!

Team Oregon gets their celebration on! For real, real.

We had an amazing time in Oregon and took the chance to celebrate. We even met up with the Eli Zigas of the west coast (AKA Dave from Lewis and Clark) to cap off a very busy, very productive week. Oh, and of course, we made some friends and got some petition signatures while we were at it. Even in our off-hours, DC Vote don't stop and we don't quit...

Feelin' a little bit of the blogger blahs (the blahgs), we quickly perk up for a great event with the Bus Project

After a long couple of days, we were feeling the pain of lack of sleep. But, we kicked off the Bus Project's "crawling for voters" event with a DC Vote-sponsored happy hour and ended up having a great time. We bought the kids a round of FREE PIZZA, gave our stump speech and had a few drinks with the voter-minded folks there. Special thanks to Melissa and Garrett for helping us out!

Our Oregon coalition is growing: Labor unions and League of Women Voters agree to help us out

We had two fantastic meetings - with LWV Oregon plus LWV Portland, followed by a meeting with labor. Both groups were staunch advocates of DC voting rights and are already planning ways to support DC Vote! We heart them.

Ms. Nell rocks the house at Lewis and Clark Law School

Ms. Schaffer dropped mad knowledge at an event co-sponsored by the Law Democrats and American Constitution Society at L and C. Our gracious hosts (big thanks to Stephen, Dave and Jonathan!) hooked us up with...what else? FREE PIZZA! We hooked them up with the past, present and future of DC voting rights. Team Oregon just keeps on rockin' and rollin'.
