Bill Introduced for Democracy Messages to be Put Onto Washington, DC Street Signs

A press release from DC Vote; article doesn't offer reader commenting:
"DC Vote Executive Director Ilir Zherka today applauded Washington, DC Councilmember Michael Brown’s announcement of a bill to rename multiple streets in the District with democracy messages.
'Councilmember Brown is taking a bold step in the right direction,' Zherka said. 'Adding DC democracy messaging to these prominent streets will send a message to Congress, and the nation, that the District will no longer sit quietly by while its residents are treated like second-class citizens.' Zherka added, 'Our original recommendation to the Council was to rename Pennsylvania Avenue, but more power to Councilmember Brown for taking it further and increasing the impact of the message with such significant landmarks as Constitution and Independence Avenues.'”

Remember, "voting turnout and activism means spreading the word!"
