The DC League of Women Voters invites all women and men to join a demonstration  on Thursday,  August 26, 2010, to commemorate the 90^th anniversary of the 19^th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States which gave women in the U.S. the right to vote.
 
This all-day action in front of the White House and Lafayette Park will also seek to draw national attention to the lack of full voting representation and autonomy for citizens of DC.   Participants are welcome at any time and are encouraged to wear white.
.
To indicate your intention to join us that day and the approximate time:  email the League at this special temporary email address: lwvdc826@aol.com  
 
Groups that wish to join us will be acknowledged.  

The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education.

Concrete workers organizing with United Construction Workers (UCW) will rally with community allies at the Consolidated Forensic Laboratory jobsite at 6^th and E Sts. SW, Washington D.C. to protest Southland Concrete's unsafe practices, unfair layoffs and poor working conditions, and to demand respect, dignity, and the right to a voice on the job at Southland Concrete.  Elected officials from the D.C. government will respond to workers' calls to commit to pursuing a full investigation of allegations of workplace abuse.
