Dear Senator / Representative:
The District of Columbia has a greater population (694,000) than either Vermont (645,000) or Wyoming (589,000) and yet has no voting representation in Congress.
This is an injustice that should be remedied.
What we are doing to the citizens of Washington, D.C. is no less unfair or egregious than what colonists cited to justify their own independence.
I want you to support DC statehood.
These citizens should have the opportunity to advocate for or against federal policies and laws that affect their lives, not merely be subject to them. They deserve a true voice in Congress.
These citizens should have full control over their local laws and government rather than be treated as a ward of Congress. As recently as 2025 and 2026, Congress has used its power to disapprove local DC laws.
These citizens should be treated as living in an autonomous state with carve-outs for federal buildings such as the Capitol and the White House. The fact that they do not is a civil rights and racial justice failure.
Senate Bill 51 has 43 co-sponsors; House Bill 51 has 207. It’s long past time to bring this to a vote, and I want to see you push for one.

Dear Sen/ Rep -
I object to the new rules USCIS has applied to green card applicants and I want you to fix this.
For 60 years, people could apply for green cards at a US consulate abroad, or while already in the US.
With the new USCIS policy, green card applicants already in the US will be required to leave while their cases are processed, even if they are in the country legally and regardless of whether they have spouses or children with citizenship.
This will affect families nationwide by forcing green card applicants to leave jobs, homes, and relationships for an unknown amount of time. USCIS is struggling with a backlog of visa and green card cases, and admits it does not know how currently pending green card cases will be affected.
This new policy will force survivors of trafficking, and abused and neglected children, to return to the dangerous countries they fled in order to process their applications for green cards.
Please draft legislation that at a minimum allows people already in process for their green card to stay in the US while their green card is processed. Then use every appearance in committee, on the floor, and with news and social media to highlight the ways in which the policies of the Ballroom Republicans running this current Federal Administration are harming families.
