Our interns @ DC Voting Rights March

The people who live in the nation's capital moved one step closer to inclusion in American democracy when the US House voted 241-177 to pass the DC Voting Rights Act.  The bill gives DC a voting rep in the House - and also adds an additional seat for Utah.

The vote followed a march on Monday by thousands down America's Main Street, Pennsylvania Ave. in support of DC voting rights.
