## Resource

Alaska is celebrating its statehood with a dazzling National Mall fair—complete with ice sculptures and seafood—while its National Guard patrols D.C., highlighting a brutal irony: the nation’s capital, home to millions, has no voting representatives. This mirrors Alaska’s own long struggle against federal control, where residents fought for decades to break free from distant Congresses that taxed them and ignored their voices. Now, Alaskans are rallying with D.C. residents, urging the nation to recognize their shared fight for self-governance and demanding D.C. become the fifty-first state.
