If D.C.’s standard “End Taxation Without Representation” license plates don’t seem direct enough for your disenfranchised tastes, you will soon have a more pointed alternative to show off when you drive.

The D.C. Department of Motor Vehicles says it’s working on a new specialty license plate bearing the message, “We Demand Statehood.” In an oversight document submitted to the D.C. Council late last month, the DMV said it’s currently designing the new tag — which should be available to the public at some point before October.

The tag is somewhat overdue; the council mandated its creation in a bill passed in 2016 that similarly made a change to the city’s longstanding “Taxation Without Representation” license plate, adding the word “End” in front of it to make it a more declarative demand than a simple statement of fact.

The DMV did not respond to questions about the delay in producing the new statehood-themed tag, nor when it might actually be ready for drivers to request. (The council bill set the price for the tag at $51 because, well, you know.) But it’s not the first time there’s been a lag in producing new specialty tags. It was also in 2016 that the council ordered the creation of a bicycle-awareness license plate; the new design was only made available to drivers last summer, and to mixed reviews. (A tag for women veterans was also created in 2016, and rolled out two years later.)

Compared to Virginia, the land of many specialty license plates — 250 at last count, from bowling to Jimmy Buffett fans (seriously) — D.C. offers a relatively small number of such tags, including one celebrating the Anacostia River to others geared towards fans of the Washington Nationals, Capitals, and Mystics. (There’s a new bill in the council to create a Washington Wizards tag.) The city also has a larger offering of organizational tags, usually reserved for people associated with university alumni groups or specific interest organizations. (Of the almost 70,000 tags handed out by the DMV last year, one was an organizational tag for a member of the Porsche Owners of America. Fancy.)

The new D.C. statehood tag lands just as the fight for statehood has become much more difficult. While bills to make D.C. the nation’s 51st state have been introduced in both the House and Senate again, it’s virtually unthinkable that the Republican-led House will follow its Democratic-led predecessor in approving such a measure — much less twice, as the House did under Democratic control.

It also comes as D.C. still smarts from a slight from the top; Axios recently reported that President Biden has opted not to put the “End Taxation Without Representation” tags on his official limousine. Biden has said he supports D.C. statehood, though. Maybe he’s holding out for the “We Demand Statehood” tags?
