DC Suffrage

The non-profit DC Vote has announced their annual awards dinner to acknowledge the work of people who "exercise their liberties to speak out about the injustice of living under a system where the governed do not have a vote in the election of those who govern."

As a recent DC transplant and a GAG (gentrifier against gentrification), it's nice to see the traction DC Vote seems to be getting. I can't help thinking, though, that the movement's new success is partially attributable to the changing face of the disenfranchised: i.e. Metro DC is becoming richer and whiter.
