Andria Thomas

Passionate advocate for #democratic rights, including #equalrights for DC, and our long-delayed #DCstatehood.

[Andria Thomas @AT4DC]

The campaign is over, as is the recovery period, so moving my occasional Twitter musings back to @andria_n_thomas. Still about #DCstatehood but also other things. Like the #SocialJustice, #votingrights, the #tech #digitaldivide, #FinancialInclusion, & more. Come say hi!

[Andria Thomas @AT4DC]

@ewengel @charlesallen @tweetelissa @joeweedon @jeremiah4dc Aaaaw thanks! :)

@20003ist @RosinaPhoto @charlesallen @joeweedon @tweetelissa @jeremiah4dc @Vote4DC @representdc Thank you! I may have lost the primary, but I remain committed to strategic approaches to move #DCstatehood forward. I hope others do too.

[Andria Thomas @AT4DC]

@kcivey @andria_n_thomas I’m going to start shaking hands with strangers on the street again and call it a day. Oh, & continue pushing for #DCstatehood of course!

@DC_Vote @NaomiSheltonDC @gdmusgrove @tomsherwood From @gdmusgrove, on ppl understanding rights in DC: “We are very comfortable with HUGE pockets of un-freedom in this country.”

[Andria Thomas @AT4DC]

Thrilled to be @DC_Vote panel on race & #DCstatehood w/ @NaomiSheltonDC @gdmusgrove @tomsherwood. Full room of passionate statehood people!

[Andria Thomas @AT4DC]

@DC_Vote @NaomiSheltonDC @gdmusgrove @tomsherwood Citing skepticism re: political args against statehood, “And we need to be a lot more active than we are.” @tomsherwood Damn straight.

[Andria Thomas @AT4DC]

Here's one great opportunity! Come talk about #DC & #democracy & #equalrights with family / fun / friends. Sunday. Lamont Park. Mt. Pleasant. See you there! https://t.co/bTxC6INuVR

[DC Statehood Coalition @New_Columbia]

@Vote16DC @dc4d Fascinating point: some jurisdictions have seen a “trickle up” effect. Parents of voting 16 & 17-yr-olds more likely to vote themselves.

[Andria Thomas @AT4DC]

Was skeptical of @Vote16DC prez @dc4d mtg, but now convinced: 1) their turnout higher, 2) more likely to vote in future, 3) taxed w/o rep!

[Andria Thomas @AT4DC]

Congratulations on your win, @SenMDBrown! Looking forward to working together on #DCstatehood, & using all tools to reach this shared goal.

[Andria Thomas @AT4DC]

In honor of one of the lamest arguments I heard against #DCstatehood on the campaign trail, my header pic is now a flag with 51 stars. The American people are resilient. I think they could survive the change. (More interesting options here: https://t.co/x4oz40hVTC)

[Andria Thomas @AT4DC]

@SenMDBrown I look forward to it!

@dc4d @kcivey @Dems4Action And what great stickers they’re both wearing!!!

[Andria Thomas @AT4DC]

When the voting in #ward8 slows down, the conversations on advancing #DCstatehood speed up! Heard great opptys to try later, win or lose.

[Andria Thomas @AT4DC]

Ok #DC #voters, if you can’t get out to vote right now, I might understand. (Try again later.)

Greetings from a doused #ward5 precinct!
