Campaign for D.C. Statehood

“The Last Battlefront” is part of a campaign for D.C. statehood, which is being spearheaded by The League of Women Voters D.C. and the Reeb Voting Rights Project of All Souls Church Unitarian.

Both organizations have D.C.-based volunteers who are available to answer questions, offer discussion sessions and educational presentations and can also help arrange viewings of The Last Battlefront for your group.

Will you join the campaign and advocate for D.C.?

For D.C. Statehood to happen, the campaign needs voters from EVERY state to demand that D.C. have equal representation in Congress and the liberty to govern themselves as the state of Douglass Commonwealth.

The D.C. League of Women Voters (LWVDC) is a non-partisan 501(c)3 organization that does not support any candidate or party, but does advocate for and educate about issues involving fairness, equality, social justice, and access to voting.

Founded in 1920, the D.C. League of Women Voters called themselves the “Voteless League of Women Voters” because the 23rd Amendment did not include District residents. Since then, they have advocated for full rights for D.C. citizens and most recently through statehood for the residential and commercial parts of D.C.

As an affiliate of the League of Women Voters of the United States, they provide educational materials about D.C. Statehood to Leagues and community groups of all sizes and types around the country.

The All Souls Church Unitarian
ReeB Voting Rights Project

We Unitarian Universalists are committed to helping D.C. residents end taxation without representation as a matter of democratic principle. In 2019, we declared support for “universal voting rights.”

In 2021, we enumerated the circumstances in D.C. as a matter of voter suppression. Even before these statements, we sided with free speech, a pluralistic democracy, and voting rights for communities of color.

Now, in 2024, the Reeb Voting Rights Project, All Souls Church, Unitarian in Washington D.C., has renewed a call for assistance from Unitarian Universalists nationwide on the matters of voter suppression and disenfranchisement of D.C. residents.
