“We can’t continue living in fear of the whims of a white member of Congress from thousands of miles away. The only remedy to protect the 700,000 Washingtonians in perpetuity is to make D.C. the 51st state.”- Jamal Holtz huffpost.com/entry/dc-state…

Today is the 51st day of the year. And this year, let’s make the 51st state.

DC statehood is a civil rights issue. Here’s why: bit.ly/34RrbZk

In 1960 Congress approved the 23rd Amend­ment, which allowed D.C. citizens to vote in pres­id­en­tial elec­tions. In 2020 and again in 2021, the House passed H.R. 51, the Wash­ing­ton, D.C. Admis­sion Act. Now, we are demanding #DCStatehood finally become a reality.

When someone says D.C. should just become part of Maryland

📅 MARK YOUR CALENDARS: Join us on Saturday, April 16 to mark D.C. Emancipation Day – the day when enslaved people in DC were freed. Let’s honor our history by demanding the end of emancipation without representation.

Today, exactly 160 year after enslaved people were freed in D.C., the project of emancipation is not yet complete for our majority-Black and Brown community. Let’s commit to ending emancipation without representation. whywecantwait.com

Another #TaxDay, another year without representation for the people of DC. D.C. residents are forced to pay federal taxes each year, without any of the same rights as other Americans. It's high time our community has equal representation in our democracy. #DCStatehood

One year ago the House passed H.R. 51 – the Washington D.C. Admissions Act – with a record number of cosponsors. Still today, the 700,000 mostly Black and Brown residents of D.C. don’t have full voting rights. We can’t keep waiting. We need #DCStatehood NOW.

Abortion access is a #DCStatehood issue. That’s why tomorrow, our community must come together to demand the protection of our reproductive rights. Be there.

TODAY AT 5PM: Join Harriet’s Dreams on the steps of the Supreme Court as we stand in solidarity with the most affected by the potential repeal of Roe. We must continue to fight for Black freedom and choice and demand accessible abortion for everyone. actionnetwork.org/forms/rally-at…

This Thursday, join us along with Voters of Tomorrow, Gen-Z for Change, & Path to Progress at the Supreme Court for the #ReproRightsRally. We need a mass youth mobilization to defend and expand abortion access. Are you in?mobilize.us/generationrati…

D.C. residents are still fighting for an equal voice in our democracy, but we know all too well the power of voting. It’s time to make sure that ALL of our voices are heard. ⤵️
