We are dealing with tactics by our local government and the federal government to expand punishment of youth in DC.

This is why we fight so hard against curfew.

Curfews are as old as racism itself and there’s no proof they work. As this strategy continues to take headlines, here’s seven things to know about their history and impact.

Every voter in DC should be able to participate in the June primary safely. But at a time when DC is under military occupation and the federal administration is threatening surges of enforcement, it’s going to be up to us to make sure all voters in DC are able to exercise our rights this June.

To make this possible, @lawyerscomm @advancementproject @harrietsdreams @washingtoninterfaithnetwork and Free DC are coming together to form the DC #ElectionProtection Coalition, a nonpartisan effort to assist and protect voters throughout election season.

Voters in DC can call the nonpartisan Election Protection hotline 866-OUR-VOTE if you encounter any challenges when voting.

— Election Protection Field Volunteers will be present outside voting locations to assist voters who might have questions or resolving issues as they evolve.

— And Election Protection trainings on June 8 and 9 will help everyone in DC understand what's involved in Election Protection and how community members can be part of protecting voters this year. These trainings are required for Field Volunteers but open to everyone.

Sign up to be an Election Protection Volunteer or attend the upcoming trainings at bit.ly/election-protection-dc (link in bio)

Election Protection ( @866ourvote) is the nation's largest nonpartisan voter protection effort. Composed of over 300 local, state, and national partner organizations across the country, Election Protection works year-round to protect voters and our fair and democratic elections.

@repsuhas you're a hypocrite to say you "support DC's autonomy" while trampling on it. You and @repkweisimfume could have stopped this bill today against DC but instead chose to vote with MAGA.

If you want to debate commuter fees, let's do it at @mwcoginsta where the people who live here and have to deal with the impact of your actions actually have a say. Without our voices, you're just siding with MAGA Republicans to trample on DC's rights.

@congresswomannorton is right.

The only solution is to grant DC Statehood.

Are you ready to join us?

Thank you @reprobertgarcia for standing up for the more than 700,000 residents in DC and voting against bill HR 8801.

Rep. Garcia said it best, Congress needs to stop acting like a super City Council.

It’s time DC decides. Let DC Vote. Statehood now.

DC Voters, double and triple check your voter registration status because you will not be able to vote in the primary if you’re not registered as a Democrat.

Last day to change your status or register to vote during the primary is next Tuesday, May 26th.

Free DC was present for today’s Full Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Hearing.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM): “I’m here to stand in solidarity with the people of DC and I would think that on the 250th birthday of this great nation we could agree that taxation without representation is wrong and that’s what our founding fathers fought against, and that is why we must support DC soveriengnty and stop this committee tinkering in the everyday affairs of our capital city.” @repstansbury
