Over 700,000 residents of DC have no voting representation in Congress. Join us with @DCVote and @DFADCoalition May 10 8:30ET for a ‘Realizing American Democracy: Representation for All Includes DC’ virtual town hall to learn how you can help! RSVP here: bit.ly/3u9XPzn
Join us on Saturday from 2-8pm at Pennsylvania Ave (between 10th and 14th St) for the D.C. Emancipation Day parade and food truck palooza! You won’t want to miss!
Federal taxes are due in one week. DC pays more federal taxes per capita than any state and more federal taxes than 21 states, yet DC residents have no voting representation in Congress. It is long past time for the Senate to pass the House-passed #DCStatehood bill.
Supreme Court Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson. ☝🏾
I just signed the Emmett Till Antilynching Act into law — making lynching a federal hate crime for the first time in American history.
I'm guessing that most young voters agree that #DCStatehood is essential to the well-being of our gov't. 700K living in our nation's capital should have voting representation in Congress. Any stats to prove me right? Need more info on #FullRightsForDC? lwvdc.org/statehood

Today I reintroduced my bill to require federal agencies to include the amount they spent on ad contracts with businesses owned by women and minorities in the previous fiscal year in their annual budget justifications. Statement: bit.ly/3LoMbGi
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has more trial court experience than any sitting Supreme Court justice. She’ll be only the 2nd sitting justice to have served in all 3 levels of the federal judiciary. And she’ll be the 1st former federal public defender & 1st Black woman on the Court.

As federal tax filing season kicks off today, I remind the American people DC pays: ✅More in federal taxes per capita than any state ✅More federal taxes overall than 21 states Yet DC residents still don’t have voting representation in Congress. The remedy is #DCStatehood.
A new $40 million round of the Bridge Fund will provide financial support to brick & mortar businesses, in the restaurant, entertainment, & retail sectors, grappling with the COVID-19 public health emergency. More info: 📲ObviouslyDC.com ✉️[email protected]

Dr. King was an advocate for racial equality and voting rights. Thanks to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, let’s spend today learning, promoting service, and advocating for voting rights as Dr. King envisioned. #MLKDay #dcstatehood #FreedomToVote
I also think that DC should be a state
Hey, so do we!

The shootings in Buffalo are horrific. Their apparent motivation makes it even more so. Hate can have no home in this country, and thoughts and prayers will not be enough.
A 18-year-old white man drove hours to Buffalo and shot and killed multiple people at a grocery store in a predominately Black community. That is the definition of terrorism
I’m out of thoughts and prayers, because clearly this country doesn’t give a fuck. The point of praying is the hope for something better. And that better is never going to come. If anything, I feel rage and compassion for the people in Buffalo.
Sending prayers to our people in Buffalo. Unchecked white supremacy and far right extremism will surely manifest themselves violently — both individual and systemic; targeted and indiscriminate. None of us are safe or free until we all are.
Poverty doesn’t grow from the ground. It’s a policy choice — a history of them that must be dismantled.

#DCStatehood Fact of the Week: Until DC has statehood, Congress will retain complete legislative authority over DC, and now House Republicans are threatening to abolish the local DC government if they take the majority next Congress.
Judge Jackson is a brilliant legal mind with a deep knowledge of the law. She has a judicial temperament that is calm and in command — and a humility that allows so many Americans to see themselves in her.
Yesterday, we witnessed a truly historic moment.
Federal taxes are due in one week. DC pays more federal taxes per capita than any state and more federal taxes than 21 states, yet DC residents have no voting representation in Congress. It is long past time for the Senate to pass the House-passed #DCStatehood bill.
Because maybe someone really needed to see this photo of my father riding a bike today. #MLK
.@Janeese4DC is a third generation Washingtonian, raised in Manor Park while attending public schools and finally receiving her law degree at DC's own @howardlawschool. During #WomensHistoryMonth, visit our IG and FB to learn why #DCStatehood is so important to her.
A Black Woman should not have to shed tears in order for America to know when enough is enough.
As federal tax filing season kicks off today, I remind the American people DC pays: ✅More in federal taxes per capita than any state ✅More federal taxes overall than 21 states Yet DC residents still don’t have voting representation in Congress. The remedy is #DCStatehood.
Please have a meaningful Martin Luther King, Jr. Day today. King had strong DC ties. His "I Have a Dream" speech wasn't just delivered in DC, it was written a block from the Wilson Bldg, at the Willard Hotel. Pictured here is King at an August 5, 1965 rally for Home Rule for DC.
