Voter Education

For DC Residents:

500 Women Scientists DC Pod has not created voter education materials for DC residents. We have linked to a voter guide for Ward 1 shared on our google group.

Our members value inclusion, diversity, and environmental sustainability. We suggest checking out the voter guides created by Greater Greater Washington, a largely volunteer organization that advocates for an inclusive, diverse, growing Washington, DC region where all people can choose to live in walkable urban communities.

GGWash’s 2018 primary endorsements and coverageThis year, voters will make decisions that have profound effects in DC, Virginia, and especially Maryland. We want to know which candidates will best advance urbanist priorities on transportation, housing, and other policies. To do this, we've set up a committee of 20 volunteers and staff from DC, Maryland, and Virginia to sort through these races for you.
