ICYMI: H.R. 5525 passed markup 21-19 on party lines today. No other city in America has to fight Congress over its own local laws. Hear from our Executive Director Amy Vruno on what this means for DC.
#DCStatehood #LetDCVote
Trump signed H.J. Res. 142, attempting to overturn DC’s tax law.
DC Council Chairman Mendelson says Congress missed its statutory deadline. The law is already in effect. DC Vote stands with the Council.
This trampling on our rights is only possible because DC lacks statehood.
#LetDCVote
Thank you to every House and Senate Democrat who stood with DC this February. On Feb. 4, House Democrats voted against the disapproval resolution and on Feb. 12, Senate Democrats did the same. DC residents deserve to govern themselves. #LetDCVote #DCStatehood
Every right we have exists because people refused to stay quiet.
This week, the Senate decides whether D.C. gets respect, or more interference.
📞 Call your Senators 202-224-3121. Tell them to reject the disapproval resolution.
Democracy grows when we fight for it.

🎥 WATCH: Rep. Maxwell Frost calls out H.J.Res. 142.
Republicans are attempting to overturn a unanimous DC law to help working families while DC has no vote in Congress.
If they cared about taxpayers, they’d back DC representation.
#DCStatehood #LetDCVote #TaxationWithoutRepresentation
Congress is days away from overriding DC’s tax law:
🚨$224M budget hole
🚨Schools + family tax credits at risk
🚨Zero DC votes
This is not oversight. It’s overreach. #LetDCVote
🚨 Tomorrow: Congress votes to override DC’s budget 🚨
$224M at risk for schools, public safety, and tax credits—without DC having a vote.
States control their revenue. DC doesn’t.
#LetDCVote #TaxationWithoutRepresentation
🚨 Congress could override DC’s budget as early as next week—blowing a $224M hole and putting schools, public safety, and tax credits at risk.
DC residents? No vote. No say.
States control their own revenue. Only DC gets overridden.
#LetDCVote #DCStatehood
As @warren.senate.gov says, DC is home to families, students, workers, and veterans who deserve the same rights as everyone else.
Nearly 250 years into our democracy, it’s time to #LetDCVote.
Minneapolis has tools to push back against federal overreach.
DC does not because Congress controls the city.
700,000 people deserve the same rights.
#LetDCVote
Dr. King fought for a democracy that represents everyone.
Today, 700,000 DC residents still have no vote in Congress.
Honoring his legacy means finishing the work.
#LetDCVote
This is Lisa. She lives in DC with no representation in Congress.
Same responsibilities. Same taxes. Same stake in this country.
Same rights.
#LetDCVote
Big change starts when people refuse to accept what’s broken.
DC isn’t waiting quietly anymore.
Neither are we.
#LetDCVote
Moments of crisis show us what’s broken.
DC deserves a political system that protects its people, not one that sidelines them.
Let’s rebuild, starting now.
#LetDCVote
This campaign is about one simple idea:
A political system that leaves people powerless.
We’re here to help fix it, with full rights for DC.
#LetDCVote
As this country approaches 250 years, we face a choice:
Repeat old mistakes or finally correct them.
Full rights for DC is how we move forward.
#250YearsForward #LetDCVote
DC is more than a headline.
It’s home.
And it’s time our political system worked for everyone who lives here.
Join us.
#LetDCVote
As our country approaches 250 years, we have a chance to fix what’s been broken for far too long.
Full rights for DC can’t wait.
Join us as we move forward, together.
#LetDCVote #250YearsForward
This is about rebuilding a political system that works for everyone, including DC.
If you believe people deserve control over their own future, you belong here.
#LetDCVote
Once again for those in the back: DC deserves equal democratic rights. I and the other 720,000 residents of DC pay taxes but have no representation in the Congress that can make or overturn local laws. Our Home. Our Laws. Our Vote. #LetDCVote
DC deserves equal democratic rights, not destructive meddling by Congress (now actively overturning OUR laws!!!).
Our Home. Our Laws. Our Vote.
#LetDCVote
