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.

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.

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:

1. Publicly call for an independent investigation into the murder of Renee Good and Alex Pretti

2. Publicly affirm solidarity with immigrants and opposition to ICE's campaign of terror.

3. Post signage in all stores denying entry to immigration agents without signed judicial warrants, as required by law.

4. 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.
