TODAY at 12PM ET: activation call on Voting Rights & DC Statehood. In the wake of Louisiana v. Callais, let’s talk next steps. 45 min on Zoom. Register now: act.dcvote.org/a/voting-rights

Join us for an activation call on voting rights and DC statehood. The Supreme Court just gave a green light to those trying to reduce the power of Black voters. DC residents still have NO VOTE in Congress. Thursday, May 14 at noon | Zoom Register: act.dcvote.org/a/voting-rights

The Supreme Court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais raises a question DC residents know all too well: who gets a seat at the table, and who gets left out? We stand in solidarity with every community fighting for their voice to count.

Today, King Charles invoked "no taxation without representation" before Congress — the same Congress where 700,000 DC residents still have no vote. 250 years later, nothing has changed. Make DC a state. #TaxationWithoutRepresentation #DCStatehood

Forget making DC a square. Here's the map worth passing. H.R. 51 makes DC the 51st state and gives 700,000 residents full representation in Congress. #DCStatehood #PassHR51

Thank you to @RepLoisFrankel for introducing an amendment to strike the abortion riders from the FY27 FSGG bill. DC residents deserve access to reproductive health care, and we're grateful for her leadership in fighting for it.

DC freed enslaved people 8 months before the Emancipation Proclamation. That liberation was historic and incomplete. 700,000 DC residents still have zero votes in Congress and no protection from federal takeover. The work isn't done until DC is a state. #DCEmancipationDay

It's Tax Day. DC residents, share this. If you have congressional representation, use it. Repost and tell your members of Congress you support DC statehood. #LetDCVote #TaxDay #DCStatehood

700,000 DC residents pay full federal taxes and have no voting representation in Congress. We went out and asked them how that feels. If you are a DC resident, make your voice heard by posting on Tax Day. #LetDCVote #TaxDay #DCStatehood #NoTaxationWithoutRepresentation

As we approach Tax Day, here is another fact about DC’s taxation without representation. DC taxpayers pay the highest average federal income taxes per household of any jurisdiction in the country, at $25,921. #LetDCVote #TaxDay #DCStatehood #NoTaxationWithoutRepresentation

We took to the streets to ask DC residents how they feel about paying taxes with no vote in Congress. Tax Day is April 15. Add your voice: dcvote.org/dc-vote-tax-da… #LetDCVote #DCStatehood #TaxDay

DC residents are saying it loud: No taxation without representation. Tax Day is April 15. Use our toolkit to post with us: dcvote.org/dc-vote-tax-da… #LetDCVote #DCStatehood #TaxDay

As we approach Tax Day, here is another fact about DC's taxation without representation. DC residents carry the highest federal tax burden of any jurisdiction in the country, paying 17% of their income in federal taxes. #LetDCVote #DCStatehood #NoTaxationWithoutRepresentation

As we approach Tax Day, we wanted to share some facts about DC’s taxation without representation. DC residents pay nearly triple the federal taxes per person of the highest-paying state in the country, and have no vote in Congress. #LetDCVote #TaxationWithoutRepresentation

The House passed H.R. 5103 218-206. Now it heads to the Senate — and we need to stop it there. This bill is federal overreach, plain and simple. Call your Senator at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to vote NO on the Safe and Beautiful Act. DC deserves better.
