D.C. Statehood Day Recognition Resolution 2024

This ceremonial resolution officially designates May 1, 2024, as D.C. Statehood Day to highlight the lack of voting representation for District residents in Congress. The measure encourages local leaders and citizens to discuss statehood and advocate for full democratic rights, such as electing Senators and Representatives. While the bill does not alter laws or grant new powers, it serves to raise awareness about the historical disenfranchisement of D.C. residents and their contributions to the nation.
