Pennsylvania the only thing stopping D.C. from becoming the 51st
state is a single Senate vote:

This is the closest moment in history that D.C. has been to becoming an
official state.
Here are just a few reasons D.C. needs to be a state:
* → Right now, D.C. residents don’t have a single member of Congress
with voting power
* → That means they’re effectively being taxed without representation
* → Per capita, D.C. residents pay more in taxes than almost any state
* → D.C. has a larger population than the smallest two states (which
historically, is the benchmark for considering a new state)
* → D.C. has a larger Black and Hispanic share of its population than
almost any state; that means the lack of representation falls
disproportionately on their shoulders
D.C. statehood isn’t about adding two likely Democratic Senators or a
member of the House to Congress — It’s about recognizing the civil and
human rights of the nearly three-quarters of a million people who call
D.C. their home.
Our country was founded on the premise of no taxation without
representation — It’s time that, after more than two hundred years later,
that promise extends to our friends and family in D.C.
We need everyone to raise their voice: [ [link removed] ]Demand the Senate vote YES on
D.C. statehood →
