John, the people of Washington, D.C. have been fighting for statehood for over 200 years — so why is D.C. still not a state?
We know why.
|
IT’S NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT D.C. HAS A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF BLACK RESIDENTS THAN ANY OF THE 50 STATES AND IS THE ONLY CAPITAL OF A DEMOCRATIC NATION WHOSE RESIDENTS DO NOT HAVE A VOTE IN THE FEDERAL LEGISLATURE.
|
THIS BLACK HISTORY MONTH, WE NEED YOU TO STAND WITH US IN DEMANDING THAT WASHINGTON, D.C. BE GRANTED STATEHOOD. PLEASE SIGN OUR PETITION IMMEDIATELY — YOUR VOICE IS CRITICAL TO THIS FIGHT!
The population of D.C. is over 700,000, greater than both Wyoming and Vermont. That’s 700,000 taxpaying Americans whose voices aren’t being heard in the federal legislature — and almost half of those voices are Black.
THAT’S UNACCEPTABLE, John. ADD YOUR NAME TO OUR PETITION RIGHT NOW AND VOICE YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BLACK AMERICANS LIVING AND PAYING TAXES IN D.C. WITHOUT REPRESENTATION:
— The Collective PAC
