A message from DC Vote
9/19/19. A date that will be long remembered. The Congressional hearing on the Washington DC Admission Act is a very big deal. It is the result of our campaign starting with the 86% yes vote for statehood November 2016. It is the result of our ambitious and successful plan to break every record in number of co-sponsors, of presidential candidates endorsing statehood, of 20 state Attorney Generals endorsing statehood, of our work building new alliances with the national voting rights movement -- all this leads us to now. The hearing presents a critical opportunity to show Congress that the people of DC seriously want to become a state. Hundreds of people channeling our long-held frustration into showing up on 9/19 is a powerful demonstration of our desire to end taxation without representation. Seize this historic moment, plan to attend! Also critically important, spread the word. Copy the flyer, email it out. Stop by our office to pick some up and distribute at your farmers market, house of worship, door to door in your neighborhood. For more action ideas, go to at our #ShowUp4DC website! |
