Next Meeting: Tuesday February 16, 2010 at 7:30 pm Voting Rights & Local Autonomy: What's Next for DC ?
Citizens of the District of Columbia and residents of
Chevy Chase, DC enjoy many benefits from living in our neighborhood and
city. Privileges we lack, however, are voting representation in
Congress and local autonomy. The Chevy Chase Citizens Association will
focus on these matters at its next membership. Two local non-profit organizations that are tackling these
difficult issues will present updates on their current work, respond to
questions and listen to feedback from the audience. Abigail Levine, Program Manager at DC Vote and alum of Chevy
Chase, DC public schools Lafayette, Deal and Wilson, will provide a report on
the status of the DC Voting Rights Act and the organization’s decision to
expand its mission to include the fight for full democracy by working to end
congressional interference in local affairs. Statehood has been identified as
DC Vote’s next major campaign. Walter Smith, Executive Director of DC Appleseed will
address the issues of legislative and budget autonomy in Washington. DC Appleseed works to solve problems
affecting the daily lives of those who work and live in Washington, DC. For several years DC Appleseed has been
a central player in the effort to gain greater local control for the District
of Columbia. We will learn more
about the work ahead related to budget and legislative autonomy. You don't want to miss what promises to be a lively and
informative evening. In addition,
there are some extra special reasons to come out on February 16. As we all know, Greece is the cradle of
democracy. In honor of this great ideal and its origins, we will serve
light refreshments generously donated by our local Greek eating spot, the Parthenon
Restaurant. Each meeting attendee
also may take home a free Taxation without Representation bumper sticker. Please join us on Tuesday, February 16th, at 7:30 pm, at the Chevy Chase Community Center (5601
Connecticut Avenue).
