The Indivisible Project’s Statement on the Passage of HR 51, DC Statehood

The problems facing our democracy are systemic and deeply ingrained in our systems, but today's vote for D.C. statehood is a monumental first step toward justice, equality, and fairness for the 700,000 people who live in the District. Today we saw firsthand just how terrified and hostile Republicans get when it comes to granting political power to D.C., specifically to the Black people and people of color who live here. We know that the road ahead for statehood won't be easy, but Indivisibles across the country are ready to fight for what's right.

The Indivisible Project’s Statement on the Historic Vote for DC Statehood

For the hundreds of thousands of residents in the District, this vote is about the promise of an equitable democracy, but it is also about justice.

GOP Senators are echoing this history even now in their pathetic opposition to D.C. statehood.
