D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state. But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed. D.C. statehood now.
DC Residents pay more taxes per capita to the federal government than any state. In exchange, they’re denied… ❌Voting Representation in Congress ❌Autonomous Home Rule ❌Control of the DC National Guard ❌Pandemic Emergency Funds
DC residents are denied full political representation in our legislative branch of government. It's time to end this second-class citizenship, advance racial justice, and finally make DC the 51st state. We need #DCStatehood.
This week, I sent a letter to the City Administrator with serious concerns about an action in the Mayor’s proposed budget: $2.1 million DC just received from settlements with big pharma to be used for treating opioid addiction seems to have been taken to balance the budget. 🧵
The Mayor's cuts to civil legal services will have catastrophic consequences for District residents. The Commission's statement is at dcaccesstojustice.org/wp-content/upl…
"Sometimes just being yourself is the radical act,” said @ElaineWelteroth, who is known for her transformative leadership as editor-in-chief @TeenVogue. “ When you occupy space in systems that weren't built for you, your authenticity is activism." #WHM

FREE LEGAL ADVICE CLINIC - IN PERSON The clinic will be held in person at the Southeast @BreadfortheCity Center on Saturday, February 25. Language interpreters will be available. Please bring all documents concerning your legal problem to the Clinic.

There are 16 hospitals in Washington, D.C. But in Wards 5, 7 and 8, where a third of the city’s residents live—there are only three, and none of them offer a labor and delivery for mothers to have their children.
Today the full Council asked the White House to move more quickly to nominate judges to our DC courts. Vacancies impact everything from family law & probate to criminal cases. We shouldn’t have to ask POTUS; no other place in America has to do so.
Democrat Wes Moore has won the Maryland governor’s race, becoming the state’s first Black chief executive. Moore, a bestselling author, defeated Republican Dan Cox, who was backed by Donald Trump. Moore will succeed term-limited GOP Gov. Larry Hogan. apnews.com/a9cd90c10e15c3…

BREAKING: With Arianna Freeman’s confirmation to the 3rd Circuit, the Senate has now confirmed eight Black women to serve on federal circuit courts during @POTUS’s presidency. Before last year, only eight Black women had EVER served at this level of the judiciary. This matters.
A big win for @DC_Appleseed and our coalition partners. Fighting for early childhood teachers to get more of what they deserve! washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
Never forget that voting rights protect ALL other rights.
