At around noon today I will make my third and final House floor speech of the week to call for statehood for the nearly 650,000 residents of the District of Columbia. The speeches this week come in advance of DC Emancipation Day, April 16. Today, I will focus on the recently released United Nations Human Rights Committee report on the U.S. government’s human rights compliance record and calling on the U.S. to grant equal congressional voting rights in the House and Senate to the residents of the District. Tune in live at around noon on C-SPAN or online at c-span.org/live/?channel=c-span. Check my twitter (@eleanornorton) for the exact time.
