Statehood Day is today!]( D.C.âs population is larger than both Wyoming and Vermont and D.C. residents pay more in taxes per capita than any of the 50 states. D.C. is also the âonly geographical entity within the United States whose citizens bear the responsibilities of citizenship, including taxation and Selective Service registration, without sharing in the full rights and privileges of citizenship.â Without any votes in Congress, D.C. isnât allowed to control their own budget or laws and Republicans have repeatedly tried to interfere with and exercise control over D.C. In addition, considering the Senate typically favors Republicans (Wyoming + California get the same number of Senators, for example), adding two likely Democratic Senators would make it harder for the GOP to win a supermajority in the Senate in the future. To honor D.C. Statehood Day, weâre trying to get 10,000 signatures before midnight in support of admitting Washington D.C. as our 51st state: [Sign today if you agree with Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Hakeem Jeffries that D.C. deserves to be a state once and for all! â](

Thank you, 314 Action Â
314 Action is the only national organization working to elect Democrats with backgrounds in science and medicine at ALL levels of government â from the Senate down to local school boards. Since 2017, weâve supported more than 500+ candidates and reached millions of swing voters on their behalf with our data-driven messaging campaigns. Our candidates led the charge to flip the House in 2018, the Senate in 2021, and a handful of state legislatures in 2022. Now, there are more scientists in office than at any point in U.S. history. No one is better equipped to craft policy to address pressing issues like gun violence, climate change, healthcare reform, or restoring reproductive rights than scientific professionals. Recent polling confirms that scientific and medical professionals have some of the highest approval ratings and levels of trust among voters â Meaning our candidates are better positioned to win tough races and can cut through the partisan divide! 100% of our work is powered by individual donations and our average donation is just $19. We plan on supporting more Democratic scientists and medical professionals in virtually every state this election cycle than at any point in our history. With you by our side, weâll defend our Senate majority, retake the House, keep the White House blue, and elect a historic wave of Democrats to state legislatures and local office.
