A big thank you to all who helped spread the word, contacted media and brought their sleds (and snowboards and cooking sheets and laundry baskets) to yesterday's sled-in. A huge success that included widespread national media attention including Washington Post, Sky News UK, WSJ, CNN, CBS, NPR, ABC, NBC and many others. But most importantly, it was a day with smiles and laughs as the young and young at heart slid down the snow-covered Capitol lawn. But while yesterday was great, the ban remains. Let's keep working to get the ban removed for the next snow day! If you have a minute, this piece in the Atlantic tells the story of kids fighting for their right to sled since the American Revolution in 1775. Worth the read. http://m.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/03/sledding-as-a-revolutionary-act/387028/?utm_source=SFFB
