A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

People For Member,

The arguments from the Far Right against D.C. statehood grow increasingly
bizarre and nonsensical as popularity for the movement grows,
demonstrating their desperation to prevent D.C. from becoming the 51st
state. The momentum is on our side and with your support we can help get
this incredibly important measure across the finish line.

[ [link removed] ]Tell your members of Congress to pass D.C. statehood now by sending
them an email of support right away >>

Donald Trump has famously claimed that the push for D.C. statehood is a
political move focused entirely on increasing the Democrats’ influence in
Congress – even though the movement toward statehood is many decades old.

Just last year, Mitch McConnell nonsensically called the push toward
statehood “pure socialism,” and a press conference against statehood held
by Senators Tom Cotton, Steve Daines, and Lindsey Graham was full of
racist dog whistles and no actual substance.

Denying full citizenship to D.C.’s racially diverse population sends the
message that the 700,000+ people that live in D.C. don’t deserve to have a
voice in their government. That is appalling, wrong, and goes against the
democratic principles our nation is founded upon.

[ [link removed] ]The residents of D.C. can’t let their representation in Congress be
jeopardized by the Far Right any longer – sign and send the petition now
urging Congress to pass statehood now! >>

Throughout the pandemic, D.C.’s unique and unjust situation has been made
painfully clear. Even as its caseload was higher than that of many states,
it was left without millions of dollars in funding critical for helping
its residents weather the coronavirus crisis and has now even faced
difficulty in obtaining vaccine supplies for its residents because they
lack statehood status.

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

Thanks for all that you do and for joining us in this fight.
