#DCVote ❤️ #Selfdetermination #Notaxationwithoutrepresentation

I am in Washington DC, my former home city, for #ECINEQ Meeting. I'm here, first time in 2025, taking it all in. Directly in front of my hotel, on New Hampshire Ave, is a strikingly dignified oak tree. It is named #Democracy Tree and it bears this plaque. The work goes on, the cause endures. #DCVote

At the end of the day Congress needs to keep its hands off DC To see disenfranchisement in action, look no further than Washington DC, whose 700,000 residents pay the highest taxes per household in our nation and yet have no voting members in the U.S. Congress.

How is social change achieved? It's not magic, it's all about organizing! At #DCVote Kelsye Adams mobilizes locally and nationally in support of #DCStatehood. And she co-founded @freedcproject.bsky.social to invite everyone to use their voice to advance #democracy. bit.ly/3YQK9rZ

TOMORROW is the 51st (hmm, interesting number!) anniversary of the passage of the #DistrictofColumbia Home Rule Act, giving D.C. residents a vote! We still don't have Congressional representation, but we do have 3 Electoral College votes, and a non-voting delegate! #TrinityDC #DCVote

Look we are the CAPITAL of the most powerful nation on Earth and yet we don't have voting right. #DCVote

Oh wait what are you talking about? /s

#DCVote vanity plate. #LoveDC

Learned today that weird status of DC largely due to mutiny that threatened Congress in Philly in early 1780s #DCVote #CuzHamilton

Hell yeah #dcvote! "@poundcoffee: Our concilman Wells being arrested at the Capitol http://yfrog.com/h2t4stmj"

So maybe if the next mayor drives up civility and lowers the cronyism he'll win? Because the opposite doesn't work. #dcvote

Gonna feel like a horrid sleepy a.m. if I stay up late & the Bad Ship Fenty-Rhee navigates out of rough waters. #dcvote

Seriously! RT @welovedc: WLDC is now prepared to call the DC Mayoral Primary for... The Goddamned Batman. #dcvote #omgwhenwillitend
