In photos: Free DC Press Conference & Rally

A large crowd gathers attentively and holding signs to listen to Free DC speakers.

On Monday, August 11, 2025, Free DC held a press conference and rally downtown to oppose Trump’s planned federal takeover of DC. We gathered with our community, including speakers and collaborators from the Metropolitan Washington Council AFL-CIO, Colectivo de Familias Migrantes, National Homelessness Law Center, Black Swan Academy, Harriet’s Wildest Dreams, and the DC Rapid Reponse Choir, among others to make it loud and clear that DC belongs to its residents.
