Trick or treat! Our offices are located on 13 1/2 Street, there are 13 councilmembers, both of our building's architects died before it was built, & the building's sculptor's studio was at 1313 13th Street.
Happy Halloween! 🎃

Happy Halloween! We have skeletal national voting rights, a ghost of a chance at statehood & we've been treated to this trick since 1801. Boo! It's a grave yardstick for our national democracy to be measured by. We won't settle for Fun Size voting rights—only Full Size will do!

This flyover provided just fifteen minutes notice to anyone in downtown DC, at the Pentagon, or at National Airport. It startled many, including us.

We mourn the loss of Patrick Stewart, star of stage, screen, and Trek. He last strode the boards in DC for a reverse-cast Othello in 1997-98. A legend among (X-)Men, seemingly a class act, we nonetheless joked in 2015 he could play Chairman Mendelson in the DC Council movie.

On this date in 2023, we lost Sandra Butler-Truesdale. She was a proud & vocal guardian of DC’s musical legacy through the DC Legendary Musicians nonprofit she founded (& we honored in 2015). We’re grateful for her work at WPFW Radio and Metropolitan AME Church

We mourn the loss of Delores Huerta, tireless advocate for farmworkers & dedicated champion for racial justice & economic fairness
Her defiant “¡Sí se puede!” is an iconic call to action that motivated millions—then, now & forever
We honored her in 2018: lims.dccouncil.gov/downloads…
