With Republicans (and even some Democrats we THOUGHT were our friends) in Congress (and the Biden administration) meddling in our local business, there is NO time like the present to educate them about our colonized status and our ongoing fight for equal representation. Opportunity 1: DC Statehood Advocacy Day - Thursday, March 23 Join DC Vote and your fellow DC Statehood activists on Thursday, March 23 for our first in-person advocacy day on Capitol Hill since before the pandemic.

Opportunity 2: House Oversight Committee Hearing - Wednesday, March 29 The GOP-led House Oversight Committee plans a hearing on Wednesday, March 29 on crime in DC, which is yet another signal Congress is meddling in DC affairs.
