“It has been five weeks that my Republican colleagues have stayed home and not come in to work to reopen the government.” @beyer.house.gov @fedworkersunited.bsky.social

“While this administration funds ballrooms, federal workers are fighting to feed the people.” @fedworkersunited.bsky.social

Happening now: @fedworkersunited.bsky.social and allies are holding a food drive outside @usdagov.bsky.social to make it clear federal leaders should fund food and healthcare, not ballrooms.

For months DC residents have witnessed MPD officers assisting federal agents as they make violent and racially motivated arrests that violate our civil rights. MPD should not be assisting federal agents with their attacks. Tell Councilmember Brooke Pinto to hold a hearing: freedcproject.org/pinto

Getting underway now: @brianneknadeau.bsky.social hosts a roundtable on D.C. government coordination with federal entities or joint enforcement activity that may violate D.C. human rights laws.

DC wants the National Guard out of our communities. We’re outside the U.S. District court today as @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social’s lawsuit against the Trump administration has its first hearing.

TODAY ➡️ Since August, the National Guard has been roaming DC intimidating people, crashing into cars, and calling the police if anyone makes fun of them. DC is suing to get them out and the suit's first hearing is today. Join us at 12:30 to pack the court: freedcproject.org/event-list/p...

Trump's deployment of the National Guard in DC is wasteful, unlawful — and it could drag on for another year if we don't work to end it. On Friday, DC's lawsuit against Trump will have its first hearing. Join us to make it clear DC wants the Guard out of our communities. FreeDCproject.org/10-24

A new court filing from @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social asserts that 2,500 National Guard troops in DC are "operating as a federal military police force in the District." The AG's suit, which argues the Guard is violating the Posse Comitatus Act, has a hearing Friday. www.axios.com/local/washin...

DC needs elected leaders who will fight federal attacks, not assist them. In recognition of this Free DC will undertake candidate endorsements for DC's 2026 election cycle. Nominations are now open for an Elections Committee to guide this work. Make a nomination: freedcproject.org/elections-co...
