Mayor Muriel Bowser is the newest member of the Democratic Governors Association! We’re thrilled to have her on board and want to welcome her by supporting one of her most essential fights: granting statehood to the District of Columbia. ['The disenfranchisement of Washingtonians is one of the remaining glaring civil rights issues of our time.' - DC Mayor Muriel Bowser]( Just last month, House Democrats took a historic step to enfranchise 712,000 Amerians voting by making D.C. the 51st state – in no small part because of Mayor Bowser’s leadership. But despite the support of a growing majority of the American people, Congressional Republicans are still fighting tooth and nail to stop it – simply because they think it would hurt them politically. That’s voter suppression, plain and simple, and we cannot let it stand. {NAME}, you've been identified as a highly informed Democrat in NY, and we're counting on you to take a stand for voting rights. We need at least 25,000 people like you to sign our petition before midnight demanding that Congress finally make Washington, D.C. a state and put an end to centuries of disenfranchisement.
