DC Vote's Coalition Partner - DC Statehood Student Association

We are a newly formed, non-profit student based organization that is focused on promoting D.C. statehood. Residents of the District of Columbia are the only U.S. citizens who pay federal income tax yet do not have voting representation in the U.S. Congress. D.C.'s lack of self determination runs against democratic principles codified in American and international law. Moreover, D.C. is the only national capital of a democracy where the residents are unrepresented in the national legislature.

The goal of this organization is to work towards righting this injustice by seeking full democratic and equal rights for the people of Washington D.C. Young people have been under-engaged in this struggle. Our organization seeks to fill this void by catalyzing the participation of D.C. college students, D.C. high school students, and college students throughout the country who may or may not be from D.C.
