The people of DC deserve dignity and respect. That's not what the incoming administration has shown us: conservatives have called DC names, disrespected our communities, and are threatening to dominate and control us.
DC deserves better — and we're willing to fight for it.
Join Harriet's Wildest Dreams, the #HandsOffDC campaign, and the Defend DC coalition for a teach-in about what the next administration might mean for DC and what it will take to win dignity for our people. This event is free and open to everyone. Food will be provided.
