CM V. Orange - Statehood or Else Proposed Resolution

Written by Anise Jenkins | FreeDC.org

D.C. Councilmember Vincent Orange has proposed a resolution to garner support from the anticipated millions of visitors to D.C. from around the country during the October 10th, 2015 for the  20th Anniversary of the Million Man March - "Justice or Else" Movement.  The proposed Sense of the Council Resolution will read in part:

"To declare the sense of the Council in support of developing a ‘Statehood or Else’ multi-media campaign with the express goals of producing a petition supporting District of Columbia statehood, collecting one million signatures for the petition, and delivering the one million signatures strong petition to the White House, to all 535 members of Congress, as well as leadership at both the 2016 Republican National Convention and the 2016 Democratic National Convention."

Stand Up! for Democracy in DC (Free DC) has already planned to work to mobilize and educate these visitors for DC Statehood and will work in coalition with Council Member Orange and "Justice or Else".
