The process for DC to become a state is the same one used by many states in the past: an act of Congress signed by the President. Learn more about why DC should become our 51st state and the process to make that happen.

Our 50 for 51 videos showcase support for DC statehood in all 50 states! Enjoy the videos and then share them with your friends and family to let all Americans know why DC should be our 51st state.

During the week of Juneteenth 2021, we celebrated the one-year anniversary of the DC Department of Public Works’ MuralsDC51 project - 51 DC statehood murals created by local artists and located in all eight city wards. These murals show that DC is much more than the federal government and its monuments.

In July 2021, the Quilts4DC Statehood Challenge invited quilters to celebrate the opportunity for Washington, DC to become the 51st state. The Challenge has received 54 entries from 44 quilters in 14 states and DC. The quilts celebrate the natural, historic, visual, and ethnic richness of DC and speak to the challenge that residents face in achieving the full rights of US citizenship.
