Free DC is partnering with the DC Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild (DCNLG) to train legal observers. Legal observers help ensure persons know their rights during encounters with the police, help connect arrested persons to jail support, document police misconduct, and assist with locating persons who have been arrested.

If you are interested in being trained as a legal observer, please register for one of the training dates below. Please complete the registration form no later than one week in advance of the training you want to attend.

Monday, June 29 at 7:00 PM (complete registration by June 22)

Sunday July 12 at 1:30 PM (complete registration by July 5)

If you cannot make either date but are interested in being trained, please complete the form. If there is enough interest, we may schedule additional trainings.

Please note: given the time and effort required to train volunteers, you will be asked to commit to a certain number of actions. Further details will be provided at the training.

Jeanine Pirro was supposed to attend a community event this coming Monday — but she cancelled, because she knows DC communities don't support her "surge" of aggression, violations of our rights, and unjust arrests and detention.

If Pirro won't meet with the people, the people will meet without her. Join us on Monday, June 15 from 5-7 PM outside the MLK Library for a Youth Safety Block Party + Visioning Session. This will be a chance for young people to share their vision for safety this summer, and for community members of all ages to show our solidarity with young people and to counter this regime’s attempts to use our young people to justify our oppression. Register below to let us know you’ll be there.

In DC, we need local elected leaders who will be on our side in this fight. In the next 42 days, voters will elect Democratic nominees for DC's next Mayor and U.S. Delegate. The June 16 primary will set direction for DC for the rest of Trump's term and potentially much longer. If DC chooses leaders who want to cooperate with this regime, all of our work to protect Home Rule will become much, much harder.

As a Free DC community member, we want you to know what's at stake in this election and what it's going to take to win.

We'll discuss the ways having an outspoken champion for our Mayor and Delegate would benefit DC communities.

You'll also learn about ways to get involved in Free DC's electoral work — including how you can help make sure everyone in our community is an informed participant in this election.

As we approach May Day, we ground ourselves in the truth: every right working people have ever won was fought for. The 40-hour work week. Minimum wages. Safer worker conditions. Abolition of child labor, none of it was given freely. All was organized for, struggled for, and won through collective action against bosses and authoritarian power.

Join Free DC’s Popular Education Working Group as we dive into the first five strikes from A History of America in Ten Strikes by Erik Loomis. Together, we’ll study the legacy of worker resistance and build our understanding of labor’s role in shaping this country. We will also connect it to DC history and our current struggle.

You do NOT need to finish the reading to join, of course, it is encouraged. Our space centers lived experience as knowledge, your insights, stories, and questions are just as important as the text.

We’ll also share updates on the Popular Education Working Group’s evolving structure and what’s ahead for future programming.
