Jamie Raskin knows that passing D.C. Statehood would save democracy from Donald Trump:
If you agree with Rep. Raskin that Democrats must pass D.C. Statehood, add your name to our official petition now! >>
Washington D.C. is more populous than multiple states, but the 700,000+ Americans who live there have zero representation in the Senate.
And for 20 years, both Republicans and Democrats called for D.C. Statehood – it’s pro‑democracy to represent all Americans.

Statement of Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton on the Introduction of the Washington, D.C. Admission Act
“The nearly 700,000 D.C. residents, who have all the obligations of American citizenship, including paying all federal taxes and serving in the armed forces, are denied voting representation in Congress and full local self‑government. This bill would give D.C. residents the voting representation in Congress and full local self‑government they have been denied for more than 220 years.”
