Support Statehood for DC
US Senate and US House of Representatives
DC residents lack basic citizenship rights. Statehood is not only the path to equal rights and full citizenship for residents of the District – it is the unfinished chapter of the civil rights movement.”
D.C. residents pay billions in federal taxes, they have no voting representation in Congress, lack control over their local budget and laws, and cannot appoint or elect their local judges.
The 650,000 residents of DC deserve to have a voting Representative and two Senators. Join us in our fight for justice.
