Senator Warnock knows DC statehood is a voting rights issue. He called for statehood at the CAP Ideas Conference and is a co-sponsor of the DC Admission Act. Thank you, @SenatorWarnock, for fighting for full representation for all Americans.

Thank you, @Rep_Stansbury, for standing up for DC residents at last week's H.R. 8801 hearing. On America's 250th birthday, the message is simple: taxation without representation is still wrong.

[DC Vote @DCVote]

DC residents have served in every American war since the Revolution and they’re still waiting for full representation in Congress. This Memorial Day, we honor their sacrifice and recommit to the fight for DC statehood.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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: https://t.co/R68l3qE8UB

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.

[DC Vote @DCVote]

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.

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 [phone] and tell them to vote NO on the Safe and Beautiful Act. DC deserves better.

Thank you @Rep_Walkinshaw for your comments on the House floor in support of DC Statehood and Home Rule. The will of DC residents to govern their own local matters must be respected.
