C.O.V.E.

Coalition for Voter Empowerment

Is a voter education initiative, sponsored by a coalition of six civic associations of the West End of Ward 5 in Washington, D.C.

 [Bates, Bloomingdale, Eckington, Edgewood, Hanover, and Stronghold Civic Associations]

 Mission           

C.O.V.E. was established in 2006 as a neighborhood coalition to empower and to educate the citizens of Ward 5 within the said civic association boundaries (who were otherwise left out of major outreach and educational opportunities) about the mayoral and Ward 5 Council electoral process. 

C.O.V.E. addresses two major factors:

• The historic neglect of the “West End” of Ward 5
• The increasing influx of new residents to the neighborhood –  some that may lack general knowledge about the DC politics and its impact on these communities; and the historical change and needs of Ward 5 in particular.
