DC Voting Rights a Top Ten Issue with Young Voters
A number of young DC voting rights supporters made sure that their voices were heard in Campus Progress Action's "I'm Voting For" project. The project allows young people to upload video testimonials of themselves speaking about the issues that matter to them most in the upcoming elections. Thanks to the high volume of video testimonials from young people saying they will be voting for candidates who support DC voting rights, both DC Vote and voting rights are now among the top ten issues on the site. The video testimonials on DC voting rights come from a variety of young people including: students who have moved to the District for school and lost their right to vote in Congress, DC natives, students who live outside of the District but support congressional voting rights for their DC friends, and representatives from Students for DC Vote. The testimonial of Students for DC Vote Coordinator Josh Bumpus appeared as the first featured video on the home page. The other videos can be found in the Human and Civil Rights section of the "I'm Voting For" Web site.
