Location

The people of DC deserve dignity and respect. That's not what the incoming administration has shown us: conservatives have called DC names, disrespected our communities, and are threatening to dominate and control us.
DC deserves better — and we're willing to fight for it.
Join Harriet's Wildest Dreams, the #HandsOffDC campaign, and the Defend DC coalition for a teach-in about what the next administration might mean for DC and what it will take to win dignity for our people. This event is free and open to everyone. Food will be provided.
HANDS OFF DC COALITION
#HandsOffDC is a coalition of more than 50 organizations in DC and nationwide
Biden has vetoed the disapproval resolution that would have blocked DC local police reforms. #DCGovernment #DCPolitics #HandsOffDC #DCStatehood

"D.C. Police Officer Michael Thomas was off duty when he shot an unarmed man in Hyattsville in 2009, and the Metropolitan Police Department has been trying to fire him ever since."
DC's recently passed police reform legislation would prevent this sort of situation, but now Congress is trying to block that law.

14 House Democrats voted with Republicans to disapprove DC's police reform bill:
Nikki Budzinski (IL)
Angie Craig (MN)

Susie Lee (NV)
Wiley Nickel (NC)
Jimmy Panetta (CA)

The bright side is it's less than half as many as voted to block the criminal code revision.

Twelve years ago today the #DC41—including Mayor Gray, 6 councilmembers, and activists—were arrested protesting the bipartisan congressional blocking of DC abortion funding. Sadly things haven't changed much. Maybe Democrats are more willing to stand up for abortion rights now, but we've found our current mayor is less willing to stand up for DC autonomy if she disagrees with the council on an issue.

Congressional Committee Grills D.C. Officials on Statehood, Public Safety Issues
In the hours leading to the hearing, members of the #HandsOffDC coalition took to the streets on Wednesday morning and affirmed their commitment to protecting District Home Rule and advancing the ongoing movement for D.C. statehood.
If the rhetoric about the criminal code revision emboldened criminals, maybe it wasn't a great idea for the police union and others to spread that misleading rhetoric (propaganda). #HandsOffDC

8 – 10am EDT

Washington, DC 20003
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.

Rep. Andrew Clyde of Georgia has led the effort to overturn one DC law. Now he is working to overturn another.
