The Issue

Public bathrooms are a basic necessity, not a luxury.

The Throne public bathrooms have been a huge benefit to DC residents, visitors and businesses over the past year. They should not be closed -- especially at the height of summer when people are enjoying the outdoor spaces.

Don’t let bureaucratic red tape close our Thrones

Bathrooms are a core service and must be continued!

If you've ever been stuck in a park with your kids desperately needing a bathroom, had to buy a latte to avoid an emergency, or had to cut short a walk with a friend because there was nowhere to go, you know how essential these facilities are. The Throne bathrooms have solved this problem for thousands of families and visitors.

Closing the Thrones means reverting to the District's previous state, where finding a public restroom is an unnecessary challenge. We must keep these bathrooms open to ensure our city remains inclusive and accessible to everyone.

By signing this petition, you're advocating for a future that includes basic human rights and upholds the standards of our city. Support the continuation and expansion of DC's restroom program and help us make restroom access a priority.

Sign this petition to tell the District of Columbia: Keep our public bathrooms open!
