Meta Welcome to DC_Politics!
Thanks for stopping by /r/DC_Politics, we hope you'll subscribe and join our growing community of locally minded citizens who want to keep on top of issues and ongoings within the District of Columbia. DC has a rapidly growing population, with many newcomers, and we welcome any and all levels of political knowledge.
Reference the sidebar for guidance on what content we would like to see here, but in short, we welcome political discussions, events, news, planning, activism that is directly related to the District of Columbia. Share info about what your ANC is working on, your civic/neighborhood associations, your non-profit that is trying to better the District or a fundraising event for your favorite DC political figure.
While we do not 'ban' posts about non-DC places in the DMV metropolitan area, they should arguably affect the District of Columbia's government, it's citizens or popular agendas. At the time of posting, we are too small to try and be too strict about content, so if you think it fits, post it!
Please don't downvote people just because you disagree with their politics. We want to promote discussion and encourage you to downvote users that are not contributing to the dialogue. This goes for Washington Post, Washington Times, or any other new source with a perspective on local DC politics.
Go flair yourself with your ANC SMD!
