Hi John,
Not every American gets to be represented in Congress.
Despite D.C. having a population comparable to several states, despite D.C. residents paying federal taxes, and despite a majority of its residents supporting statehood, the people of D.C. have been denied a voice in the federal government.
Our democracy is strongest when everyone gets to make their voices heard. That's why people like you worked so hard to defend and mobilize voters across the country this past year.
It's unacceptable that nearly a million residents are denied full representation in Congress -- and today, we're asking you to join us in speaking out.
We're collecting signatures to call on Congress to make Washington, D.C. a state. We need to collect 20,000 signatures by the end of the day, so we need you to join us in standing with D.C. residents by signing our petition RIGHT NOW.
We're so grateful that you've stood with us in the fight to make our nation a fully participatory democracy.
ASPIRE
