DC Statehood
Sign the Petition & Contact your Legislators
The Reeb Voting Rights Project of All Souls Church (D.C.) is renewing a call for assistance from UUs nationwide to support the people of D.C. who are in the cross hairs of the current administration. We ask for your help in protecting our limited Home Rule and, ultimately, gaining the same voting rights as residents of the 50 states.
Please send this petition to friends and family to be an ally of D.C.! Advocating for D.C. Statehood in the midst of the political situation right now, may seem like a low priority. However, it is not for these reasons:
DC citizens (700,000) do not have Senators or Representatives to defend our rights.
DC Home Rule gives us the right to vote for a Mayor and a governing Council. This can be taken away as threatened by Utah Senator Mike Lee who created the so-called Bowser Act, submitted recently. It disrespects the District’s elected representatives while seeking to end 50 years of D.C.’s limited Home Rule.
