DC Vote

Trump signed H.J. Res. 142, attempting to overturn DC’s tax law.

DC Council Chairman Mendelson says Congress missed its statutory deadline. The law is already in effect. DC Vote stands with the Council.

This trampling on our rights is only possible because DC lacks statehood.

#LetDCVote

Thank you to every House and Senate Democrat who stood with DC this February. On Feb. 4, House Democrats voted against the disapproval resolution and on Feb. 12, Senate Democrats did the same. DC residents deserve to govern themselves. #LetDCVote #DCStatehood

Today we mourn the loss of Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights icon who served as DC's shadow senator from 1991 to 1997. He recognized statehood as a fundamental civil rights issue and brought national legitimacy to the fight for DC representation.

His legacy will endure.

Every right we have exists because people refused to stay quiet.

This week, the Senate decides whether D.C. gets respect, or more interference.

📞 Call your Senators 202-224-3121. Tell them to reject the disapproval resolution.

Democracy grows when we fight for it.

🎥 WATCH: Rep. Maxwell Frost calls out H.J.Res. 142.

Republicans are attempting to overturn a unanimous DC law to help working families while DC has no vote in Congress.

If they cared about taxpayers, they’d back DC representation.

🚨 Tomorrow: Congress votes to override DC’s budget 🚨
$224M at risk for schools, public safety, and tax credits—without DC having a vote.
States control their revenue. DC doesn’t.
#LetDCVote #TaxationWithoutRepresentation

🚨 Congress could override DC’s budget as early as next week—blowing a $224M hole and putting schools, public safety, and tax credits at risk.

DC residents? No vote. No say.

States control their own revenue. Only DC gets overridden.

Thank you, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton.
A true warrior on the Hill who spent decades fighting for a city denied its voice.

You carried DC’s fight with courage, grit, and unwavering love for this city.
Your legacy lives on in every step toward full representation.

As @warren.senate.gov says, DC is home to families, students, workers, and veterans who deserve the same rights as everyone else.

Nearly 250 years into our democracy, it’s time to #LetDCVote.

Greenland: 1,300 miles away, not part of the U.S.

Washington, DC: American, taxed, governed.

Guess which one Republicans are open to giving representation?

Minneapolis has tools to push back against federal overreach.

DC does not because Congress controls the city.

700,000 people deserve the same rights.

#LetDCVote

Dr. King fought for a democracy that represents everyone.

Today, 700,000 DC residents still have no vote in Congress.

Honoring his legacy means finishing the work.

#LetDCVote

Happy MLK Day! Here are some ways to celebrate in DC.

This is Lisa. She lives in DC with no representation in Congress.

Same responsibilities. Same taxes. Same stake in this country.

Same rights.

#LetDCVote

Big change starts when people refuse to accept what’s broken.

DC isn’t waiting quietly anymore.

Neither are we.

#LetDCVote

Myth: DC citizens enjoy the same rights as other Americans.

Although Washingtonians pay federal income taxes, fight in America’s wars and serve on its juries, they have no voting representation in Congress. Also, Congress must approve the local budget and every local law.

Representation shouldn’t disappear when it matters most.

#LetDCVote

Moments of crisis show us what’s broken.

DC deserves a political system that protects its people, not one that sidelines them.

Let’s rebuild, starting now.

#LetDCVote

This campaign is about one simple idea:

A political system that leaves people powerless.

#LetDCVote

As this country approaches 250 years, we face a choice:

Full rights for DC is how we move forward.

#250YearsForward #LetDCVote

DC is more than a headline.
