Firstly, you can follow Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, D.C on Twitter and Facebook.

Educate yourself and others about the importance of D.C. statehood, especially if you are in Arizona, Maine, West Virginia, or Alaska, where target Senators who have indicated they are undecided about statehood are located.
