Be sure to swing by the Wilson building to view the council’s new banner, put up Saturday. Thanks to Chairman Gray & the Council, this will get some media attention in the next few days, especially during the Inaugural Parade, which will pass the Wilson building. DCVote, DC for Democracy, and other DC activists urged the council to make use of this unique opportunity.
