Support DC's all-ages policy!

On Kojo Nnamdi's show RIGHT NOW.

"For decades, dance clubs have been incubators for Washington D.C.'s thriving musical cultures, from Go-Go to Punk to Hip-Hop. But after a local teen was tragically murdered at a local club, D.C. leaders are considering legislation to curb teen access to venues that serve alcohol. We look at the recent controversy over "all-ages" clubs from a cultural perspective.

Guests

Kevin "Kato" Hammond, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief, Take Me Out to the Go-Go Magazine; Member, the Go-Go Coalition

Mark Andersen, Co-founder, Positive Force D.C.; Co-author "Dance of Days: Two Decades of Punk in the Nation's Capitol" (Akashic); and Director, We Are Family Group

DJ Eurock, Hip-Hop DJ; community activist"

Listen on 88.5 FM in DC or online here

or listen to the archive after 2pm here

Then go write a DC council member and tell them how all-ages shows helped you to be the upstanding citizen you are today.
