After Congressman John Lewis announced he would boycott the inauguration of Donald Trump, more than 40 Democratic members of Congress have followed suit, including local representatives like Don Beyer (D-VA) and Anthony Brown (D-MD).

Now, some D.C. residents are hoping that Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton will join the boycott, too.

“For all the times we complain about not having a representative who can represent us, this time, that’s not a problem,” says Drew Courtney, a progressive organizer in D.C. who started a MoveOn Petition calling on her to “Stand With John Lewis.” “She can vote with her feet and send a very clear message.”

In a conversation more than a week ago, Norton told DCist she was still deciding whether or not to attend the inauguration, noting that it wouldn’t be her first time skipping, “even from presidents that I’ve supported,” she said. “I hate the cold weather.”

When asked about her current plans, her office referred us to a statement sent out last night, which said she is currently recovering after a “routine procedure to remove scar tissue following a bout with norovirus.”

Courtney says that he’s coming at this as a fan of Norton’s. “This is not intended to lecture her,” he says. “She has her own really impressive legacy but, as our local representative, I think this is the message we want her to send. In a question of whether you stand with John Lewis or you stand with Donald Trump—that’s just a really easy question.”

He says that he woke up on Saturday morning angry after seeing Trump attack the Georgia congressman and civil rights luminary on Twitter, prompting him to launch the petition.

While some other members of Congress had already announced they wouldn’t attend Trump’s inauguration, the number ticked up following Lewis’ fight with the president-elect.

It began when Lewis said he did not “see this president-elect as a legitimate president” because of alleged Russian election interference on Meet The Press, leading to a slew of angry tweets from Trump saying that Lewis was all “talk, talk, talk.” Lewis is well-known for putting his body on the line during civil rights protests, including a march in 1965 Selma now known as “Bloody Sunday.”

Virginia’s Beyer explained his decision by saying that, despite respecting the peaceful transfer of power, it “would be the height of hypocrisy for me to pretend to be part of this inaugural celebration” because Trump’s “values and his actions are the antitheses of those I hold dear.”

Mayor Muriel Bowser announced shortly after the election that she would attend the inauguration, and more recently, Trump’s opponent, Hillary Clinton said she would go alongside her husband.

According to Matt Ackland of Fox 5, more than half of the D.C. Council will not be there.
