WHY PAVE PARENT LEADERS #VOTE4DCKIDS

Citywide PLE and Ward 6 PLE Board member Russchelle Moore

"My kids come with me to vote because I want them to see just how crucial of a right it is. Family members of generations before me never had the right to vote, so I cast my ballot for them."

"As a mother and native Washingtonian, I also commit to cast my ballot to #Vote4DCKids because I want to see a better future that my kids, and all kids, deserve."

In the latest piece on the PAVE Blog, Citywide PLE and Ward 6 PLE Board member Russchelle Moore shares about why it is important to #Vote4DCKids, her role as a PAVE Parent Voting Captain, and how she encourages DC community members to amplify their voices by voting in Tuesday's primary election.
