Other Organizations

While the DC League of Women Voters and the Reeb Voting Rights Project are spearheading the Campaign for DC Statehood, other organizations have long been involved in D.C.’s fight for self-government.

DC Vote

Kelsye Adams, Director
kadams@dcvote.org

Founded in 1998, DC Vote is a national citizen engagement and advocacy organization dedicated to strengthening democracy and securing equality for all in the District of Columbia. DC Vote was formed to develop and coordinate solution-oriented proposals that aim to achieve full democratic equality for residents of the District of Columbia.

Under DC Vote’s umbrella, creative proposals are incubated and vetted to determine possibilities for consensus and advancement into the policy arena.

DC Vote welcomes citizens, advocates, thought leaders, scholars and policymakers seeking to advance our cause.

Neighbors United for DC Statehood

Neighbors United for Statehood is a group of District citizens who believe that through grassroots community organizing and strategic congressional outreach we can be the foundation and driving force behind the DC Statehood movement.

Our strategy is to work neighborhood by neighborhood educating and organizing small groups at a time to build a sustainable movement for statehood.

These groups work to recruit their friends and neighbors while also targeting members of Congress for sustained outreach and lobbying focused on statehood.

American Civil Liberties Union — DC

Monica Hopkins, Executive Director

The ACLU of D.C. works with District residents and supporters of our vision to protect and advance civil liberties and civil rights by using the tools of public education, political advocacy, organizing, and litigation.

We envision a just and free D.C. where all people, especially historically oppressed communities, live without systemic governmental oppression and can exercise their power to protect and expand civil rights, civil liberties, and human dignity.
