Our General Assembly is underway in our member the District of Columbia, USA @StudentsforDC@SenPaulStrauss , who we thank for their warm welcome. To learn more about how UNPO General Assembly works, read here unpo.org/section/2/15
Special thanks to @EleanorNorton for inviting us to participate. We appreciate all that you do for the disenfranchised citizens of the District of Columbia.
Excellent remarks by President Biden. Disappointed that #DCStatehood was not acknowledged. Nevertheless, we will continue to fight for our right to representation. #SOTU2022
Support our veterans. Over 32,000 of our veterans come from the District of Columbia. Our veterans protect our democracy. Everyone should support their right to representation. #DCStatehood#SOTU2022@EleanorNorton
Gun violence is an issue that grips the entire nation. The District of Columbia has no voice in the solution. We can help tackle this problem with 3 voting members in Congress. #DCStatehood#SOTU2022
The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionally affected DC. How is it that states like Vermont and Wyoming, with a lesser population than the District of Columbia, received more response funding in the beginning of the pandemic? (Hint: it’s because DC is not a state) #DCStatehood
Adding to this, many Congressional Republicans are planning to overturn D.C. home rule and are interfering with the Council and Mayor Bowser’s vaccine mandates.
Apparently, the District of Columbia is the Designated Survivor tonight. Our one voting Representative and two Senators are nowhere to be found in the Capitol.

Raise your hand if you’re a District resident and paid more in federal taxes than those 55 Fortune 500 companies that President Biden referred to ✋🏽 @EleanorNorton#SOTU#DCStatehood
Many families are living paycheck to paycheck in the United States. This includes District of Columbia residents, who are taxed at the highest rate per capita compared to any state. #DCStatehood@EleanorNorton
SFDCS stands with the people of Ukraine, who are currently fighting for their sovereignty. The United States is pro-democracy, and will continue to be, as we fight for the people of Ukraine’s sovereignty. @EleanorNorton
Our organization had such an amazing morning at the Freedom for Voting Rights Relay and Rally! 🗳
We had the honor of hearing from amazing speakers such as Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes-Norton, Andrea Waters-King, and Martin Luther King the III.

When we become the 51st State there is no doubt that a large portion of credit will be owed to the mighty Howard Bisons
