"US Senator Jesse L. Jackson Sr. was DC's first Shadow Senator. @RevJJackson was a hero to me because he fought the good fight for civil rights - including for #DCStatehood. I greatly appreciated his spirit. We MUST keep hope alive!" -Anise Jenkins @MsFreeDC #FreeDC #StatehoodNow

DC Mayor MARION BARRY Jr. was born March 6, 1936, in Itta Bena, Mississippi. In 1966, Marion Barry led the #FreeDC Movement, which supported #HomeRule. Through this organization, Barry led a bus boycott to protest fare increases, which greatly affected Black residents. #FreeDCnow

"I have no voice [in the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson]. I play no role in this process because I have no VOTING SENATORS to speak for me and cast votes. D.C. residents have no say and play no role in our so-called democracy." @MsFreeDC #FreeDC

DC - The Last Colony? Abolitionist Frederick Douglass proved that remaining a slave was impossible & undemocratic. The bill to abolish #HomeRule strengthens our push for #DCStatehood. We must fight on until the #DouglassCommonwealth becomes the 51st state! shoutout.wix.com/so/bcNy93kz…
