- Caption
- This handmade button encouraging people to vote for Carol Davis is a testament to the grassroots urban politics that took over Washington, D.C. following the Home Rule Act of 1973. It was made by Katie Davis for her mother’s campaign for the first Advisory Neighborhood Commission elections. The position was responsible for representing a small neighborhood in the city and informing decisions on the specific needs of the community. This button and the Advisory Neighborhood Commissions represent the power of the urban community advocating for self-government and taking politics into their own hands.
