The Washington, DC Statehood Office was created by the New Columbia Statehood Commission to raise awareness & educate audiences about the fight for #DCStatehood
D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state.
But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed.
D.C. statehood now.
In the birthplace of our democracy—Philadelphia—we proudly joined @theyoungdemocrats Convention, where young leaders from across the country passed a resolution in support of DC Statehood.
700k+ American citizens in DC demand & deserve full representation. #DCStatehood#YDA2025
Happy 235th Birthday, DC!
On 7/16/1790 the permanent location of our nation’s capital was established when the Residence Act became law.
Fun Fact: James Madison was one of the first advocates for DC home rule. DC residents have been fighting for local autonomy for 200+ years.
Republicans talk a big game about limited government, yet they jump at every opportunity to intervene in D.C.’s local matters. Oversight Dems and Acting Ranking Member @RepStephenLynch adamantly oppose the three oppressive bills Republicans are forcing on D.C. this week.
Today is Earth Day. Let's use EARTH in a sentence: DC is the only democratic capital on EARTH with no voting rights in its national legislature. And yes, we’re Green with envy. #EarthDay#DCStatehood
163 years ago, before enslaved people were freed in all states, they were freed in DC first.
Every year, we come together to stand united in celebrating DC and in honoring those who paved the way.
Together, we are reminded: DC is not fully free until we have full access to American democracy.
The Great Eight just became the greatest.🥇
Today, @ovi8 made NHL history by achieving the all-time goal scoring record.
895 reasons to celebrate! Showing the world who we are: the District of Champions. 👏🏽
Washington, DC., is the only capital of a democracy with no voting representation in the national legislature. #DCStatehood is vital to the health of our democracy.
On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and resilience. In 1862, DC freed over 3,000 enslaved people, leading the way for emancipation. Yet, DC residents still lack full representation. This Juneteenth, let’s honor the past by fighting for #DCStatehood !#Juneteenth#EqualityForDC
