Yesterday Congress voted to overturn DC law — and this is an incredibly dangerous precedent that threatens all our rights and safety. Tell @POTUS to veto this resolution and advance #DCstatehood now. #HandsOffDC actionnetwork.org/letters/ha…

"We have all the same obligations of other Americans but not the same rights." @TyHobsonPowell is a force for #justice in #WashingtonDC & globally. He founded @concernedofdc not as a platform for himself but as a way to serve, advocate, transform. bit.ly/3IksLDP

THREAD: One year ago today, LMPD murdered Breonna Taylor. She was a young, Black woman like me, and many of my sisters shared in these photos. Despite Breonna receiving intense press coverage and her name becoming known worldwide, we still don’t have justice. AT ALL. – at Louisville, KY

It is infuriating to know that if Breonna and her boyfriend were white... they would be praised by conservatives for trying to defend themselves from a tyrannical system. Instead of being demonized by right wing media.

#DCStatehood would give 700,000+ mostly Black and Brown Washingtonians a vote in Congress to fight for stronger gun laws. Join @Team_ENOUGH, @YouthOverGuns, @MFOLDC, and @concernedofdc and others on Sept. 24 to demand a real path to statehood: bit.ly/51YouthLobby
