NCNW President and CEO @shavonarline delivered the keynote at the DC Full Democracy Luncheon in celebration of District of Columbia Emancipation Day, honoring the city’s legacy of resistance, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of full democracy. She urged attendees to stay the course and recognize the power and influence rooted in Washington, D.C., a city that continues to lead the nation in the fight for representation and justice. She also honored the enduring leadership of Eleanor Holmes Norton, whose decades of advocacy for DC statehood and civil rights remain a guiding force in the struggle for equity and self-determination. The message was clear: DC’s voice is powerful, its people are essential, and its democracy must be fully realized.
