With all the feds and MPD around, we've been wondering... Where in the World is Jason Bagshaw? Has anyone spotted him lately?

Anon plz: ANC 8A Commissioners w/ MPD are holding a march to "take back" Minnesota Ave from their own constituents. They do not like these residents because they are housing insecure, hang outside, & receive social services from multiple orgs. They purchased bullhorns to “clear out" their neighbors.
Taking Back Minnesota Avenue The biggest concern I've heard from many of you is the loitering, open containers, and drug dealing on Minnesota Avenue. Commissioner Davis and I have spent countless hours talking with community stakeholders to address these issues. I firmly believe we must stop the drug dealing before we can effectively address other issues in the park. We now need your help. Join us as we march together to take back Minnesota Avenue, showing a united front just before and on the first day of school. When: Join us on Thursday, August 21, Friday, August 22, and Monday, August 25 (the first day of school). Time: We'll meet at 3 p.m. each day. Where: We will meet at the intersection of Marion Barry Ave (Good Hope Road) and Minnesota Ave. The March: We will march in the middle of the street down to the 2200 block of Minnesota Ave in front of Boone Elementary, and we will occupy that block on both sides of the street. Commissioner Davis and I will bring bullhorns, but please bring signs. How You Can Help: We need you, your friends, and your families to join us. If you can't march, please join us along the route to show your support. If you can't attend, please help make signs to share with others who can. We'll have MPD on-site, but our strength is in our numbers. By showing up for three days in a row, especially during the time students are getting out of school, we can send a clear message that we want this block back Minnesota Avenue Takeover Neighbors and beyond - We need a show of fource = WE NEED YOU Please meet at 3pm over at Marion Barry Avenue & Minnesota Ave on Thursday, Friday & Monday (*Monday being the chosen day if you can only do one day) to takeover Minnesota Ave (literally) with ANC8A Commissioners & bullhorns and signs to march to Boone Elementary and clear out the 2200 block of Minnesota Ave. To register and learn chants and see sign suggestions visit: https://anc8a01.com/minnesota-takeover On the flyer is a roll of paper with a smile holding a sign that says, "Stop." Minnesota Ave Takeover. Join neighbors for our own takeover Thursday, Friday, & Monday Meet at 3pm on each day & march with us to Boone Elementary. For more info: www.anc8a01.com/takeover

Tomorrow is the third of the next round of court dates for the Frederick Four.

While we support them today, they want to remind everyone of why we’re here.

Overlaid is the text: On May 1, 2025, a May Day demonstration in Frederick, Maryland made its way down the streets of downtown to show support for our community members, neighbors, and friends being targeted by state violence.

While the Frederick Four need our support to fight these charges, they did not want to lose sight of what brought them to the streets to begin with.

Overlaid is the text: Why we marched “For me, getting involved in protests and marches has been a long time coming. I have felt like a witness rather than an active member of the world for most of my life, watching uprising after uprising and feeling in awe of the bravery, power, and love in practice by ordinary people. I don’t think it was something I could be a part of but after watching injustice after injustice I figured who cares. I’ll try to be part of it anyways. And once I started meeting people who do protest work, I started feeling like I had a place and could be an active force for change or betterment, rather than an observer to suffering. Now, it’s a way for me to engage in the world with purpose, compassion, and energy for my community.”

An offshore flier with the opaque gray image of a crowd of protestors holding flags and signs. The flier states: On May 1, 2025, a May Day demonstration in Frederick, Maryland made its way down the streets of downtown to show support for our community members, neighbors, and friends being targeted by state violence. Police attacked and arrested four people, denying them medical care for their injuries. They now face trumped up charges that could result in fines, probation, and jail time. While the Frederick Four need our support to fight these charges, they did not want to lose sight of what brought them to the streets to begin with. This is why they marched... An offshore flier with the opaque gray image of a crowd of protestors holding flags and signs. The flier states: Why We Marched Friends, our situation is dire. We face a complete asymmetrical power imbalance. Our opposition can overwhelm us on all fronts. They can overpower us, outspend us, and they own all the levers of power and control. So what can we do in the face of insurmountable odds. What can we hope to accomplish with a march or any single action? We march to be heard. We march to find the courage in ourselves that's been laying dormant. We march to learn comrade is not just a word, it's a survival strategy. We march to kindle the fire in our souls. May that fire keep us warm and light our path to victory• Our enemies are powerful, but they're also arrogant and make mistakes. On that day, when they stumble, if we are prepared to rely on each other, we can move like water and find that no power is unbeatable. So, until that day, we will march to get ready. See you soon, dear friends.
