Stand Up for the ACLU-NCA and Stand Up for Statehood

An iTunes album. Half a week’s worth of coffee. A ticket to the movies. With the click of a button or swipe of a credit card, we can quickly and easily spend $10. Today, why not swap that album, that coffee, or that ticket for a cause that impacts over 600,000 D.C. residents? Stand up for D.C. Statehood. Text “DC51” to “20222”
Out of 193 countries, the United States is the only in the world that denies basic political rights to residents of its capital. Without statehood, D.C. residents lack the political voice our founding fathers fought to guarantee. With statehood, they earn the equality at the core of our nation’s philosophical promise. By texting “DC51” to “20222,” you can help us guarantee we live up to this mission.
