Already, hundreds of thousands of voters in DC are disenfranchised at the federal level. Congressional overrides of DC laws erode what little democracy DC possesses.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if DC starts not governing ourselves as we best see fit solely to avoid congressional interference, that in and of itself is congressional interference. #HandsOffDC #DCStatehood

In 1992, when Congress forced DC to hold a referendum on bringing back the death penalty, #DCCouncil Chair John Wilson told people to vote against it, even though he supported the death penalty. He opposed congressional interference in DC's local laws. All DC elected officials ought to be willing to stand up for #DCStatehood and to say #HandsOffDC.
