THE STRATEGY
Join stand-up comedians, entertainers, and advocates from DC and beyond as we shine a spotlight on the denial of voting rights to over 700,000 citizens in our nation’s capital.
​
DC residents have been denied the basic right to have representation in Congress for so long, that today there is practically no mention in the media, of this maddening injustice. It has, essentially, become an acceptable form of voter suppression. It's time to say, "NO MORE"! It’s time to make this fight loud and impossible to ignore.
​
Our mission is to attract the attention needed to force politicians to address DC Statehood publicly—in interviews, town halls, and debates. We want to expose the illogical arguments against representation and hold those accountable who either don’t grasp the concept of representative democracy or are willing to undermine it for personal gain.
Additionally, we want to have a place where statehood advocates can go to stay updated with current efforts and easy ways to help. All while showcasing some fabulous local talent!
