This is where we are, D.C.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton will attempt to educate her illustrious colleagues about the realities of D.C.’s lack of voting rights using the statehood segment that aired Sunday on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. In just 17 minutes, Oliver deftly explains the history of D.C.’s lack of voting rights, why it’s completely messed up, and how simple of a fix it would be.

So when Congress returns, she’ll host a briefing for representatives, their staff, and the public to watch the clip. A statehood expert will also join and take questions

“John Oliver has picked up where Stephen Colbert left off, when he regularly made fun of D.C.—and me—for not having the same rights as other Americans.” Norton said in a statement. “The difference is that Oliver did 17 straight minutes, missing no major right denied or rider imposed. In the process, he also managed to reveal widely unknown D.C. factoids, for example, that the city’s gross product exceeds that of 16 states and that HIV rates went straight up in D.C. after the needle exchange rider was imposed and right back down when it was eliminated.”
