Take Action Now!

Support for DC Statehood is growing, and we have an opportunity to ensure the 700,000 Americans living in Washington, DC achieve full voting rights and representation in Congress in the same way all 37 states did following the original 13 colonies - by a simple majority vote in Congress.

54% of DC residents are people of color and 46% are Black. Denying DC Statehood is systemic disenfranchisement that exacerbates the structural inequities already endured by people of color in our nation.

Americans living in DC pay taxes, serve in our military, and contribute to their communities. It is time they received the same voting rights and representation afforded to Americans living in all 50 states.

We need to make sure DC Statehood is a priority in Congress. Please contact your members of Congress and urge them to support DC Statehood.
