About a year ago the national DC Statehood campaign, 51 for 51, launched on the premise that the most significant voting rights bill in our lifetime—D.C. statehood—should not be subject to political games. The 51 for 51 campaign advocates for a viable path to DC statehood by bypassing the filibuster to enfranchise 700,00 people.
 
Now that HR 51 has earned its historic passage in the House, we have to move the Senate, where it will require unbelievable youth power and solidarity to see it through.
 
We are calling on you to join us as we virtually take to the halls of Congress for the #51for51 Young People's Virtual Advocacy Day on Thursday, September 24. We are scheduling some meetings in the afternoon to accommodate some time zones and Senator's schedules. We will contact you asap to let you know if your meeting is likely going to be in the afternoon.

This Lobby Day is open to young people from across the country. We encourage advocates from California, Connecticut, Delaware, Oregon, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, and Wisconsin to mobilize their networks to join.

Please register by September 16.
