An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Say NO to repealing the Home Rule Act

27 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

As your constituent, I'm writing to urge you to vote NO on any attempt to repeal the District of Columbia Home Rule Act and oppose any attempt of a federal takeover of DC. Over 700,000 Americans live in DC, and they deserve the same right to elect their own leaders and manage their own communities as every other city in the country. Crime in DC is actually down this year, so this takeover is not about safety — it’s about stripping citizens of their democratic rights. Please stand up for local self-governance and publicly oppose this dangerous power grab. Thank you for your time.
