We were late to the #DCStatehood demonstration outside the @uscapitol, but I marched with the native Washingtonian in the family down through newly opened streets to peacefully protest for redress of grievances & freely express ourselves about Congress making DC the 51st state.

Today, the House of Representatives will finally vote on DC Statehood.
If DC was a state, it would be the only state in the US in which Black people are not a minority. DC Statehood is a racial justice issue. #DCStatehoodNow
DC residents have fought and died in every war, yet the tens of thousands of veterans in the District are denied their voting rights and privileges.
