Hey Al Sharpton, You Listening?

Do you have a plan to vote?

Let us tell you the information you need to register and cast a ballot in D.C.

I want to make sure I vote!

We’ll send you information about voting and stories about local politics and news.

Yesterday, Southland Concrete workers rallied outside the United Forensics Laboratory construction site—complete with bullhorn-wielding councilmember Phil Mendelson!—in the first high-profile protest of the company’s treatment of workers. Tomorrow, the Reverend Al Sharpton will give a speech at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial site to commemorate the 47th anniversary of the civil rights leader’s “I Have a Dream Speech.” The United Construction Workers are calling on Sharpton to holler at Southland to make the company acknowledge the workers’ right to organize.
