As we saw during the 2008 Obama campaign and recently witnessed in Paris, unity is not just an hopeful ideal but a STRATEGY for positive action.  Featured activities include….  2016 Candidate Showcase & Straw Poll: First off, we want to offer a platform for attendees to meet representatives of groups supporting 2016 candidates and hear their pitch before voting in a 2016 Straw Poll that will reveal who DC-area politicos would like to see run for President. Feel free to share who you are supporting and why they’re the best candidate to unify the movement with #sotuunitydc  2016 Action Showcase & Petition Station (with Twitter Bomb): We also want to offer a platform for attendees to have their voice heard and connect with causes they care about so we will highlight various local and national causes with an issue petition and information station. Before the speech we will also stage a “DC Voting Rights” twitter bomb for @whitehouse @mcconellpress @speakerboehner with the help of our friends at Phone 2 Action. You can sign a petition now on the White House web site:
