Washington DC's Rock the Vote party
More than 300 young political activists came together at club 1223 on Connecticut Avenue, to watch "AMERICA ROCKS THE VOTE". More than 20 groups rallied to the cause including: Young Democrats of America, College Democrats, Women's Information Network, Service Employees International Union, Hip-Hop Summit Action Network, Democratic GAIN, Friends of Hillary, Stonewall Democrats, Emily's List, Leader Pelosi's Office, and all of the Presidential campaigns.

During the event, debate watchers mingled and discussed issues important to young people such as the economy and the occupation of Iraq. The attendees were engaged in dialogue on issues pertinent to young Americans, and before the debate began heard from Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, who remarked about the role of young people in the political process. The Congresswoman also spoke about the upcoming DC Democratic primary and the effort to mobilize voters. At the end of the evening, Rock the Vote's DC Community Street Team raffled tickets to the Rock the Vote Post-Grammy party in LA, Outkast Vinyl, a CD gift pack from Tower Records, a Balanced Bodywork full body massage gift certificate, and "boy boy 80" clothing.
