Right now, members of Congress are pushing 13 bills that would strip away the District’s right to self-governance. These bills would let politicians from outside DC decide how we run our schools, courts, policing, housing, and even who represents us in government.

As we acknowledge Emancipation Day today, we must remind ourselves that we are heading into what is probably the most consequential presidential election cycle in the last 30 years. Our civil and personal liberties, even the very history of this nation, is at risk. We are the only ones that can do anything about it.

The DC Democratic Party is delighted to invite you to the Kennedys-King Dinner on May 17, 2024. Join us as we honor the legacies of John and Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.

With the 2024 national election in sight, we are gearing up to engage, build, and plan to win BIG! With your sponsorship, we will strengthen our local party and help elected Democrats to advance our fight to become the 51st State. We hope to see you there!

Delegates are selected to represent DC at the Democratic National Convention help elect the party's nominee for President, adopt the party platform and adopt the rules for the party's activities, including the presidential nominating process.
