*****************************************
The historic, house vote on #DCStatehood is a first step towards ending one of the biggest civil rights injustices of our time.
Until we fix #DCStatehood, 705,000 District residents are subject to the whims of the Federal Government. Sometimes they're benevolent, and sometimes, as recently seen, they're not. #DCStatehood now.
DMPED stands with Mayor Bowser and the 705,000 residents of DC for the historic #DCStatehood House vote! It is time to end one of the biggest civil rights

The denial of democracy in Washington, DC is voter suppression. DMPED joins @MayorBowser and 705,000 residents in calling on Congress to fix this civil rights injustice. #DCStatehood now.
