Friend –

The people of D.C. have been denied their full voting rights for more than 200 years. 

Join an important national panel discussion on Thursday, September 23, at 5:30 p.m. with experts to discuss the racist roots of denying D.C. residents statehood rights, parallels between voter suppression in the state of Georgia and D.C., and how lack of statehood continues to harm communities in D.C. today.

Shut out: Voter Suppression, Racial Injustice, and the Fight for D.C. Statehood
