We live in DC, lack federal representation, and amplify constituents’ voices on progressive issues. Write a letter for hand delivery at stampslicked.org.

Glenda’s way of giving back to her community is by fostering kids with nowhere else to go. Because Glenda lives in DC, she doesn’t have a vote in Congress. This is her story. Share yours using #WeAreDC to join the fight for #DCStatehood: WeAreDC.org

Opponents of #DCStatehood keep saying the quiet part out loud. It’s all about politics to them. To us, statehood is about giving equal representation to 700,000+ mostly Black and Brown D.C. residents. Let’s put politics aside and make it happen with 51 votes in the Senate.

Posting this story about how much Ivanka and Jared have made while Trump is in the White House, for no particular reason theguardian.com/us-news/2019/j…

Voting matters so much. Because it also affects who gets to decide the boundaries of congressional districts. #gerrymandering #RememberInNovember #GOTV #VoteByMail #VoteEarly

The fact that Trump can make a joke about Biden ‘kissing’ people and get a laugh from the crowd is a reminder that the press has never held him to account for the multiple accusations of sexual misconduct against him - including an accusation of rape after he won the presidency.

How many reporters or interviewers over the past four years have pressed Trump on the accusations of sexual assault and misconduct against him? Or even his ties to Jeffrey Epstein? How many have revisited the Access Hollywood tape?

Can you imagine the New York Times focusing on the hour long Hatch Act violation everybody just witnessed as much as it did on Hillary Clinton's email server. NO, OF COURSE YOU CAN'T. Because they NEVER will.

Corps like ⁦americanair⁩ got a huge tax cut just a few yrs ago. Didn’t prepare for a rainy day and are once again asking taxpayers to bail them out to save jobs. Maybe corps should learn to budget instead of get handouts. #RememberInNovember apple.news/AWQTOlPTrRauyP…

Don't speak Collins? Allow us to translate: "Fairness & consistency are great, but I won't complain if my party throws those values aside. I promise to clutch my pearls in concern at Trump's nominee. But rest assured, if McConnell needs my vote, he'll have it." #mepolitics #RBG

They're called 'naked ballots'. Tonight, there's concern they could disenfranchise 100,000 Pennsylvania voters. In 2016, the state was decided by 44,000 votes. Key reminder: Ballot goes into secrecy envelope, both go into outer, declaration envelope. wtae.com/article/theyre…

And yet when given an opportunity to stand up to Trump and block his nomination of a #SCOTUS justice while ppl are ALREADY voting, you balked. Didn't you vote to impeach him? If he's not willing to have a fair election, shouldn't you maybe reconsider? #GrowASpine

It's critical that we achieve a full and accurate count of ALL communities across the U.S. The Trump administration's attempt to curtail the count at the 11th hour was about excluding communities of color. Spread the word. Complete the #2020Census today: 2020census.gov/en/ways-to-res…

If you have a Democratic senator, you best be blowing up their phones to ask WTF they're doing. Call 202-224-3121. #SCOTUS #judges #GrowASpine #DemocracyAtStake

Their closing argument is that 7 days after the election they will remove your health care through the newly stacked Supreme Court.

GOP senators who represent 15 million fewer people than Senate Dems rushing to confirm Barrett 39 days before Nov 3 for prez who lost popular vote by 2.9 mil, suffered largest midterm election defeat in US history & was impeached in order to cement their anti-democratic gains

But what will you do to stop it? Will your Senate Democratic colleagues walk out of the hearings? Will your Dem House colleagues start impeachment proceedings against Barr? Will you stop confirming other judges in the meantime?
