"This hearing violates the purposes of the DC Home Rule Act... instead, legislating on local DC matters is a choice [by Congress]. If local DC residents don't like the laws the DC Council adopts, they can vote them out of office." -Rep. @EleanorNorton correctly stating
For too long, DC residents have watched Congress meddle in their affairs, and today’s House Judiciary hearing is no exception. We stand with the residents of Washington, DC, in their quests for statehood, autonomy in self-governance, and full voting representation. (1/3) @LWVDC
Congress needs to focus on real solutions to address violence and keep the people of DC and all Americans safe instead of continuing to use the District of Columbia as a pawn in their political games. #HandsOffDC

Budget riders make it possible for Congress to silence DC residents in a way that undermines the ideals of our democracy and makes us less safe! #HandsOffDC lwv.org/blog/congressi…
The continued "othering" of those of us who live in DC. It's our everyday reality but it's still hard to believe our democracy ignores 700,000 of us. washingtonpost.com/history/2023/0…
Conservatives in Congress are interfering in DC’s basic right to self-governance. We want allies from across the country to help us stop it. Join us on Aug. 10 for a nationwide call about how everyone with reps in Congress can help demand #HandsOffDC: hands-off-dc.com/events/50-stat…
Air pollution knows no state boundaries and is harmful to everyone. @LWV joined @actonclimateUS and 60 other organizations to call on Congress to protect EPA's ozone pollution protections. Everyone deserves clean air. lwv.org/environment/lw…

Today @thealumnispot with @202Creates ✊🏽⚡️ Keep the Beat Week!!! @MayorBowser - thanks for making GoGo the OFFICIAL music of Washington, DC. There is no movement without music. See you all this evening.
League members, board, and staff were in attendance with Dr. Deborah Turner’s widower, David this morning. Rest in Power Dr. T🕊️🤍

Last weekend marked 100 years since the Equal Rights Amendment was first introduced in the US Congress. We can't wait another 100 years. Tell Congress equality belongs in the Constitution! ➡️ 📲 bit.ly/3RjYZ5E
We can’t wait another 100 years. It’s time to publish the #ERA! We’re looking forward to marching along side our friends at @ERACoalition 🫶🏼
We are tired of having our equality treated like a hot potato. We are counting on EVERYONE, the Executive Branch, the DOJ, the Archivist, and Congress to do the right thing and ensure the ERA is published and recognized as the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. #ERA100

@maustermuhle 💯 Recently @postlocal op/ed writers have been on fire, the best of the @washingtonpost. DC needs more local reporting, not less.
No, damn it. The folks in the already-diminished Metro section are the unsung heroes of the newspaper, and they should not be forced to carry the weight of the buyouts.
Some media news: Washington Post buyouts are hitting the Metro section hard, among other departments. At the higher end, Post employees with 15 years or more at the Post will receive 2 years of salary as part of their buyout offers. washingtonpost.com/style/media/20…
