On May 1, 2023 (Monday) we celebrate #DCStatehood Day. Please join us in the many celebrations we will have throughout the day, below is one. Film: The last Battlefront at: Shaw Library, 1630 7st ST NW DC 20001 @ 6PM.
Regardless of where you stand on the substance of this bill, it should be decided by local politicians; not forced to revise it to please visitors. #DCStatehood is needed to protect the locals.
Pres. Biden and the Dems who voted their fear in Congress, see what you’ve enabled? Not a surprise to us in D.C.—we always knew what the Republicans were about—but you’ve sold out your principles for cheap political points that you won’t score anyhow. https://t.co/UkFlOCFqJx
Here are the 14 members of the Senate Democratic Caucus who respected Home Rule and voted AGAINST nullifying the RCCA:

Cardin
Duckworth
Durbin
Hirono
Markey
Merkley
Murphy
Reed
Sanders
Van Hollen
Warren
Welch
Whitehouse
We in the District salute you!
While we are raising our voices, the Senate is telling us to be silent. They are telling us that we should have no voice. That they know better than us.
This is pure disingenuous nonsense. Please, don’t insult our intelligence by blaming your vote on DC’s attempt to withdraw the legislation to avoid having it overruled. Own your participation in this colonial act. #NoDonationsWithoutRepresentation
