Folks, the House just passed HR 51 -- a historic bill to finally give the 700,000+ residents of Washington, DC the statehood they deserve.
Our Founding Fathers agreed on a simple idea: no taxation without representation. But the people of Washington, DC pay taxes and receive zero voting power in Congress.
Now is our chance to make this right. Sign our petition to demand the Senate pass DC Statehood immediately!
When there’s an issue they care about, every American knows they can call their Senator or Congressperson to advocate for what they need. The people of DC have no one to call.
The fact that we disenfranchise 700,000+ Americans -- a plurality of whom are Black -- isn’t just a national embarrassment. It’s a civil rights issue.
Tim Ryan is standing up for our democracy, and he needs you by his side. Sign on and demand DC Statehood now!
-- Team Ryan
