Well this was a slam-dunk answer from Mayor Bowser in the name of #DCStatehood .
In fact it’s so good, the room broke out into applause…much to the Republican’s obvious chagrin.
A beautiful evening with a beautiful friend. And the legendary Patti Smith - who not only rocked, but also reminded us that the people hold the power and the people of DC deserve #DCStatehood .
D.C. residents pay more in federal taxes per capita than any other state.
Yet, the nearly 700k residents don’t have full representation in Congress.
I’m sure it’s no coincidence that those residents are over 45% Black.

Congress mind your own STATE. Don’t protect violent, criminal and killer DC Police Department Cops. They must be stopped! #DCStatehood #DCStatehood Now #HandsoffDC #HomeRule
It is undisputable: #DCStatehood is a racial justice issue, and one of the most urgent civil rights priorities of our time.
I am honored join the #MarchOnWashington today to continue the work of civil rights leaders who came before us. Statehood for DC must be part of it. #MOW60
A happy 94th birthday to Ms. Dolores Huerta. Thank you for all the support for #DCStatehood
What can I say about getting to hang with Dulé Hill, except that I’m totally #Psyched to welcome him to Washington DC for the #WHCD2024 Weekend. Thanks for your advocacy of the Arts with the Creative Coalition in support of the #RighttoBearArts and of course #DCStatehood !
Did you know that the current DC delegate to the House of Representatives, Eleanor #DCStatehood Holmes Norton, did not have the right to vote? Join IPPH for more Moments that Matter with Sharon Pratt!

There are “no constitutional barriers” to shrinking the federal district and passing #DCstatehood .
The only barriers are extreme partisanship, MAGA indifference, and dog whistles.
Noteworthy for anyone interested in #DCStatehood — tonight Trump called to 'take over DC and federalize it.'
On DC Emancipation Day, we commemorate the anniversary of Pres. Lincoln freeing enslaved people in DC in 1862 — 9 months before the Emancipation Proclamation.
162 years later, our neighbors in DC still lack full autonomy & representation. I won't stop fighting for #DCStatehood .
It’s time for #DCStatehood !
On this #dcflagday please remember that by denying the 700,000 people in D.C. (myself included) statehood means we are denied a true voice in Congress
Despite Chairman Comer’s claims that D.C. statehood is about “liberal Democrats consolidating power to enact radical policies,” #DCstatehood is about small-d democracy–not the Democratic Party.
WATCH Ms. Weiser explain:
DC should be a state. Pass it on! What an honor to hear all of you speak to us at our Democrats Abroad Annual Global Meeting Gala.

Mayor Muriel Bowser A drop in the bucket. How about give every ward the same amount for small businesses that DC paid for a single Washington Nationals scoreboard - $22 million? #All8wards #DCStatehood #BeDowntown Phil Mendelson
DC Statehood in 2028/2032 would solve so much of what ails America. #BidenHarris #GoodTrouble #NeverTrump #DCStatehood #progressive #BLM #prochoice #guncontrol #SaveAmerica #Resisters #StrongerTogether #RiseUp #equality #justice
