The Senate’s Republican-led HSGAC Committee felt that DC’s entire financial outlook was worth less than 15 minutes of their time today.

We know that the people of DC — including children and families here — deserve better than that.

Last year Congress blew a $1.1 billion hole in DC's budget. Now they're trying to do it again.

Two new bills are attempting to take away nearly $700M of DC's own local tax money. They're anti-democratic, anti-family, and wrong.

Here are four ways you can help stop them: freedcproject.org/money

Tonight in DC, hundreds of people came together to remember and mourn Alex Pretti.

One of Pretti’s fellow VA nurses from Minnesota spoke at the vigil and shared a lesson from nursing we all need right now (1/2)

Happening now: Members of @wearecasa.bsky.social @popdemoc.bsky.social @freedcproject.bsky.social Congregation Action Network and @domesticworkers.bsky.social are gathering to demand the Senate block all funding for DHS and ICE.

Target is based in Minneapolis and ICE is using their stores.

Hilton is lodging ICE officers, and cut ties with a local operator who kicked ICE out.

And Enterprise is renting the cars that ICE uses in their raids.

Tell their CEOs to stop their cooperation: FreeDCproject.org/ice-out

HAPPENING NOW: A massive crowd is gathered in freezing temperatures outside ICE headquarters in DC to demand ICE OUT OF ALL COMMUNITIES NOW.

3. Tomorrow at 11 AM, join us on the picket line at Target in Columbia Heights with #BoycottTarget. Target has been under fire since March for being one of the first corporations to obey in advance. Their silence in the face of ongoing attacks at home is damning. freedcproject.org/event-list/p...

1. Do not shop at any corporate chains today.

That includes in-person stores and online retailers.

Need essentials? Consider shopping at the stores that have pledged to be in solidarity with DC communities, not this regime: freedcproject.org/where-to-shop

Labor, faith, and community leaders in Minnesota are calling for a full-day economic blackout tomorrow, January 23, in response to ICE's intensifying attacks on communities there.

Want to support from afar? Here are three ways to be in solidarity with the blackout from anywhere. 🧵

Walk Out on Fascism!
January 21, 2026 at 2:29 AM
DC showed up in a major way today. Thousands of people said NO to fascism!

THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!
January 21, 2026 at 12:14 AM
Today marks one year of the Trump regime. In that time, they've put soldiers on our streets, are hunting people with ICE, Congress is rolling back the rights of people here, and our local leaders are failing to push back.

Enough is enough.

Walk out. Today at 1 PM. freedcproject.org/event-list/w...

There are two ways we recommend taking action today in response to the murder of Renee Nicole Good:

Join us at Sherman Circle at 5:30pm for a community vigil!

Then at 8pm, there will be a nationwide virtual rapid response call focused on next steps & action!

ICE is kidnapping our neighbors.

MPD is cooperating with federal agents.

Congress has introduced bill after bill to overturn local laws, and more are on the way.

On January 20, DC will walk out on this administration's attacks and towards one another. Join us: freedcproject.org/event-list/w...

We condemn ICE’s extrajudicial killing of a woman in Minneapolis today.

We call for an immediate removal of all ICE agents from DC.

We also call on Congress to immediately defund federal surge forces nationwide as part of their current budget process.
January 7, 2026 at 9:55 PM
Militarism overseas and state violence in our neighborhoods are two sides of the same coin.

We condemn the Trump regime’s military strikes on Venezuela and its forcible removal of the leader of a sovereign nation.

DC does not want the National Guard here. They need to go home!
December 25, 2025 at 10:26 PM
Mass arrests and kettling of protestors. Tolerating a culture of white supremacy. Leading MPD’s cooperation with federal agents.

Jeffery Carroll is the wrong choice to be DC's next police chief. Tell the Mayor and Council to choose a different permanent chief: FreeDCproject.org/carroll

Stephen Miller could have let the National Guard go home for the holidays but he’s forcing them to stay in DC instead.

Just like when your grandma gave you pencils as a holiday gift, no one asked for this.
