A postcard for "Statehood Or Else" in DC. The postcard has an image of the Supreme Court building at night. There are nine (9) people standing in front of it. Most of them are wearing red. They are holding up black signs that read [STATEHOOD/OR ELSE]. Each letter has its own sign. The letters appear to be purple and look like they are made of strings of lights. There is an outline of a red circle in the top proper right corner. The inside of the circle reads [FREE D.C./STATEHOOD] in red. "Free D.C." is in an arc at the top of the circle and "Statehood" is typed in a horizontal line. In between the words there is an image of a metal chain. The back of the postcard is royal blue with white text. The majority is made up of different statements.
