Donald Trump and his Republican wingmen in Congress have stepped up attacks on the people of Washington, DC and the fragile and meager political rights they have. When DC picked Democratic Socialist Janeese Lewis George to be our next mayor, Trump threatened to “take back Washington” and “run it on a federal basis.” The scariest part is this: He could do it. DC’s lack of statehood has always meant that DC residents don’t have the kinds of constitutional and political rights enjoyed by residents of every state in this country. Now Trump is trying to exploit DC’s lack of power to control the capital — an essential part of any authoritarian plan. DC democracy affects all of us — and the people that are most impacted by it are the ones with the least power to change it. Come find out how you can stand in solidarity with 700,000 Washingtonians and force Trump to back down.
