The denial of statehood to the 700,000 people of D.C. is an example of egregious voter suppression in our country. 

Join an important national panel discussion on Thursday, September 23 at 5:30pm ET / 2:30pm PT with experts to discuss the racist roots of denying D.C. residents statehood rights, parallels between voter suppression in the state of Georgia and D.C., and how lack of statehood continues to harm communities in D.C. today.

Panelists will include: 

George Derek Musgrove, co-author of Chocolate City: A History of Race and Democracy in the Nation’s Capital
