If you need a little outlet for the pent up frustration of still not having voting rights, head down to the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol today for a teach-in on D.C. statehood. Hosted by the ACLU of the National Capital Area and the D.C. Statehood Green Party, among others, the teach-in will include speakers and musical performances. The list of speakers is long and distinguished, featuring Johnny Barnes of the ACLU, D.C. Shadow Senator Michael D. Brown, Council member Harry Thomas Jr. (D-Ward 5) and Council member Michael A. Brown (I-At Large). Musical performances will include Tabi Bonney, Rasi Caprice and Head-Roc. The event runs from 5:30 to 8 p.m.
