People For Member,

Passing D.C. statehood in both houses of Congress should be a priority for
all of us who care about equality and opportunity.

D.C. has been denied full representation in our government since the
District was established more than 200 years ago. Since the reintroduction
of the D.C. statehood bill last week, some members of Congress are already
expressing their fervent opposition to making D.C. our 51st state, using
nonsensical arguments to make their case. We need to make sure Congress is
inundated with support for D.C. statehood from people across the nation if
we’re going to have even a chance at getting it passed.

From depriving D.C. residents of $755 million in coronavirus relief funds
to preventing the D.C. government from calling in their own national guard
when the U.S. Capitol was under attack, the events of this past year alone
have made it clear that the District’s second-class status is putting D.C.
residents in danger.

We can’t wait any longer: D.C. needs to be a state now.

More than 50 percent of our capital city’s 700,000 residents are people of
color, the majority of whom are Black Americans, making their lack of
equal representation in the federal government one of the greatest racial
injustices of our time. Help us raise awareness about this critical racial
justice issue and support an end to this racially biased exclusion!

[ [link removed] ]Urge Congress to take up and pass D.C. statehood immediately! >>

The residents of our nation’s capital city deserve better, and we’re going
to work hard to make statehood happen. Racial inequity is a problem for
all of us, and D.C. statehood is one important step towards fixing it.

Thank you for fighting with us!

In solidarity,

Sarah, Digital Campaigns Associate
