The Washington, DC Statehood Office was created by the New Columbia Statehood Commission to raise awareness & educate audiences about the fight for #DCStatehood

[Mayor Muriel Bowser @MayorBowser]

Here's what you need to know about DC.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

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.

[Mayor Muriel Bowser @MayorBowser]

It's times like these when America needs to know that DC should be the 51st state.

[Evan Glass @EvanMGlass]

The District deserves to be the 51st state #dcstatehood

[DCstatehood51 @DCstatehood51]

Thank you for your support @youngdems @DCYDs! #DCstatehood

[DC Young Democrats @DCYDs]

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

[Eleanor #DCStatehood Holmes Norton @EleanorNorton]

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.

[Oversight Dems @OversightDems]

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.

[Senator Paul Strauss @SenPaulStrauss]

If you hit a #Beach this weekend, it's because they #HittheBeach before. On #MemorialDay, let’s #Honor & #Remember the women & men who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep us free, especially the #DC troops who did so without a vote in Congress. #MemorialDay2025 #RememberAndHonor

[Council of DC @councilofdc]

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

[Mayor Muriel Bowser @MayorBowser]

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.

[Mayor Muriel Bowser @MayorBowser]

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. 👏🏽

[DC Vote @DCVote]

Something we can all agree on!

[Mark Hamill @MarkHamill]

@JoeBiden DC should be a state. Pass it on.

[Common Cause @CommonCause]

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.

[Senator Paul Strauss @SenPaulStrauss]

As #Republicans seek to dismantle our democracy, I’m proud that the #Democratic party is recommitting to support #DCStatehood. The proposed #platform language that delegates will vote on at upcoming @DemConvention in #Chicago is clear, unequivocal and strong.

[DCstatehood51 @DCstatehood51]

Welcome to the 51st state @ClipperRace! Great to have you here!

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

[Mayor Muriel Bowser @MayorBowser]

The DC flag represents our fight for statehood. One day, it will represent the 51st state.

Happy Flag Day, DC!

[Ward 3 Democrats for DC Statehood @Ward3Statehood]

The Virgin Islands are taking up a resolution in support of #DCStatehood! Thank you, @LegislatureUSVI!
