“How does my message align with this person's cultural identity?” (w/ Kelsye Adams, Director of DC Vote)

Do you remember the slogan of the American colonists "no taxation without representation" and want to ensure that American citizens today all have that representation?

This week we spoke to Kelsye Adams, Director of DC Vote, about her work as an artistic activist, advocating for the fundamental rights of DC residents to equal representation in Congress via statehood. She discussed where the fight for DC statehood is, what it will take to get it over the finish line, and how she incorporates art and especially go-go music into her work.
