We here at DCist love happy hours. After all, we’ve thrown a few ourselves (at The Reef, Big Hunt, Biddy Mulligan’s, and Chief Ike’s Mambo Room), and we try to emerge from behind our computers now and then to attend those put on by fellow bloggers, residents, and activists.

Today DC Vote, the organization that has single-mindedly championed District voting rights since 1998, is sponsoring the first of what are to become monthly happy hours. Tonight’s is taking place at Cafe Saint Ex on 14th Street NW at 6:30 p.m.

And if any folks might need to let off steam, it’s the DC Vote staff and supporters. After all — fighting for voting rights has always been an uphill battle, even though legislation is often introduced in Congress to that effect.

District resident or not, stop on by.
