The Voting Rights March and Rally in front of the Capitol Reflecting Pool today was by all accounts a big success despite chilly winds and rain. We estimate between 4,000 – 5,000 supporters came out to demand a full vote for D.C. in the House of Representatives. Many more showed up too late for the rally, which was originally scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. but was shortened and started early due to the weather conditions.
We’ve got some great photos from the event, but we’re just sure that you do too. Don’t forget to tag your Voting Rights March photos with “dcist” and “voting rights march” on Flickr — we’ll be putting together a slide show of all the best shots in the morning, along with more detailed posts about the march.
