DC Vote Executive Director Kimberly Perry welcomed a crowd that came together in support of democratic equality for the District. "It was so very energizing to have such a great turnout of young and enthusiastic people ready to work for equality for DC," Perry said.
After accepting the Democracy All Star Award, Ben Olsen explained, "It's been great to work with DC Vote, and I'm all for equality for D.C. It's a great time to be part of the District. It's been my home for a long time, I'm raising a family here, and I'm proud of D.C. United's commitment to staying here. District statehood and budget autonomy make so much sense, and this event helps bring these issues to the forefront."
