Podcast Interview with LWV of DC member Kathryn Ray on DC Voting Rights

The LWV of Seattle, participating in a national effort to raise the publics’ awareness of the lack of voting rights for over 600,000 U.S. citizens, hosted an enlightening interview with Kathryn Ray. Ms. Ray is not only a DC resident, but also an active member of the LWV of DC, educator and DC voting rights activist. In these podcasts, Christal Wood spoke with Ms. Ray about the history of DC citizens’ voting rights, the reality that Americans like Ms. Ray face while living in the District of Columbia and why our nation should care.
