"US Senator Jesse L. Jackson Sr. was DC's first Shadow Senator. @RevJJackson was a hero to me because he fought the good fight for civil rights - including for #DCStatehood. I greatly appreciated his spirit. We MUST keep hope alive!" -Anise Jenkins @MsFreeDC #FreeDC #StatehoodNow

Grand Rising on #DCEmancipationDay2025! We participated in a daybreak remembrance & reflection at @NatlParkService's Freedom's Memorial in Lincoln Park. Our early morning observance was a quiet reflection of DC Emancipation Day - April 16, 1862. #DCstatehood #FreeDC #StatehoodNow

@MsFreeDC and @FreeDCnow were arrested 2⃣5⃣ years ago today and charged with “Disruption of Congress” after (allegedly) screaming “THE CAPITAL OF OUR NATION IS THE LAST PLANTATION!” and “FREE DC!” in the House Gallery during floor debate on #DCappropriations. #FreeDC #DCstatehood

DC Mayor MARION BARRY Jr. was born March 6, 1936, in Itta Bena, Mississippi. In 1966, Marion Barry led the #FreeDC Movement, which supported #HomeRule. Through this organization, Barry led a bus boycott to protest fare increases, which greatly affected Black residents. #FreeDCnow

[Stand Up! | Free DC! @StandUp_FreeDC]

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! FREE DC!

Thank you for all the hard work and passion you all put into the #DCStatehood Movement!

Let's become the 51st STATE and #FreeDC in 2023!

"I have no voice [in the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson]. I play no role in this process because I have no VOTING SENATORS to speak for me and cast votes. D.C. residents have no say and play no role in our so-called democracy." @MsFreeDC #FreeDC
