Show Up at the Senate: DC's money belongs to DC
Representative Brandon Gill (R-TX) and Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) have introduced bills in the House and Senate to block DC from using our own local money to support children and families here.
This effort is anti-family, it’s destabilizing for DC’s finances, and it’s wrong.
On Wednesday, February 4, we’ll show up at the Senate’s meeting where they will discuss this bill. Register using the form below to join us.
DC's money belongs to DC: Organizing Call
Join DC Fiscal Policy Institute and Free DC for an organizing call to learn about what this change would mean for DC families, the District's finances, Home Rule, and how we can work to stop it.
Picket Every Target Weekend of Action
Target was one of the first corporations to obey in advance by rolling back DEI policies. Now the company which is headquartered in Minneapolis has remained silent while the Trump regime attacks communities there. ICE has arrested people inside a Target store, used Target’s St. Paul store to film a propaganda video, and has staged raids from Target parking lots.
Pressure is building. In solidarity with organizers across the country, we want Target to:
Publicly call for an independent investigation into the murder of Renee Good and Alex Pretti
Publicly affirm solidarity with immigrants and opposition to ICE's campaign of terror.
Post signage in all stores denying entry to immigration agents without signed judicial warrants, as required by law.
Restore Target's commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
Organizers have picketed outside the Columbia Heights Target every single Saturday since the boycott began last year. At the one-year anniversary of that effort, on Saturday January 31 the Boycott Target campaign and Free DC will picket every Target location in DC.
Pick the Target location closest to you, and join Free DC leaders to make it clear we won’t tolerate cooperation with the occupation.
Not Another Dollar for ICE: Indoor Press Conference and Rally
The Senate is expected to vote this week on a funding bill that includes funding for the Department of Homeland Security and ICE. We want the Senate to block it.
Walk Out on Fascism
On January 20, 2026, the one year anniversary of this regime and our organizing, we're calling on everyone who is sick of this administration's attacks on DC to leave work and rally with us for a Free DC.

Local Business Canvass: Cleveland Park
Economic boycotts are a time-tested tool communities can use to hold powerful entities accountable. Just as importantly, we can also redirect our money toward businesses that share our values.
Local Business for a Free DC is a new program to build support for and among local businesses that support DC Home Rule and oppose federal attacks on our communities
Join us to canvass businesses in Cleveland Park and invite them to participate in this program. We’ll provide materials, a brief training, and you’ll get paired with a partner before going out. Register below to join this canvass
