Washington, D.C. – On Wednesday, November 5, a group of activists again disrupted Mayor Muriel Bowser at a speaking event, this time at the DC Democrats November General Body Meeting. The direct action, called by the Families Not Feds campaign, is the latest in a series of actions targeting DC’s mayor for capitulating to the racist Trump agenda. The environment the mayor created by conceding to the Trump agenda led to, on October 27, federal police shooting into the car of an unarmed Black man that the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) covered up.

Chuck Modi On Repression And Resistance In Washington, DC

It’s been nearly a month since President Trump began his offensive against Washington, DC. This comes as Trump continues to threaten even more cities across the United States with deployment of the National Guard, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and other repressive forces to carry out mass deportations and terrorize activists and communities who oppose the Far Right. The offensive in DC has been easier for the administration to carry out due largely to the fact that the city does not have statehood. Despite this, the residents have resisted the federal offensive. Students have staged walkouts, activists including veterans have confronted ICE in the streets, and groups like Free DC have organized regular protests.

The Military Occupation Of Washington, DC: Then And Now

DC residents are living under an expanded military occupation ordered by Donald Trump that many are calling “unprecedented.” However, this is not the first time this action has been taken. Understanding this history is essential to properly contextualize what is happening now and to focus on the correct narrative and issue to fight going forward. I grew up in Southeast DC after my mom moved us from our hometown of Jarratt, VA to a little apartment in a four-unit building on Parkland Place when I was about five or six years old. We enjoyed free summer concerts in the park across the street from our building. I used to walk about a half a mile to Malcolm X Elementary school during the week, and to Liff’s Market across the street from that school every Sunday to get the paper for my mom and snacks for myself.

DC Citizens Demand Statehood In Rally And March Against Occupation

Washington DC—Tens of thousands of DC citizens rallied and marched Saturday demanding the immediate end to occupation forces and an end to police harassment and illegal arrests in communities throughout the city. The We Are All DC action was in response to the regime’s deployment of 1000s of federal police and over 2000 Army National Guard Soldiers from Southern States, including Ohio, West Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Citizens denounced roundups of immigrants, traffic stop traps, and the arrests some U.S. citizens. The march began at Malcom X Park and ended about a mile away at Freedom Plaza, where organizers told of the adverse affects the occupation had on their communities, police stops to check drivers, usually without probable cause, and ICE roundups of immigrants and green card holders awaiting their final approval as citizens.

Washington, DC – As the occupation enters its third week, on Wednesday afternoon, September 3, the DC Against Trump Coalition (DCAT) gathered in front of the Wilson Building, home to the mayor’s office and city council, to protest Mayor Muriel Bowser’s latest capitulation to the Trump administration. Organized in less than 24 hours, DCAT mobilized 50 people to respond to an executive order signed by the mayor that will indefinitely allow local police forces to cooperate with federal law enforcement. This move represents the latest concession to the Trump administration, which ordered the National Guard into the city three weeks ago. Protesters made their voices heard inside City Hall as they chanted, “We don’t need collaboration, end this racist occupation!”

Washington, DC – On Saturday, August 30, the DC Alliance Against Trump Coalition (DCAT) hit the streets again, this time partnering with the Long Live GoGo Foundation to host a march and live GoGo concert on August 30, aimed at fighting the Trump directed occupation of DC. Since Trump’s federalization of DC, starting on August 11, the presence of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), ICE, and National Guard troops has increased their assumed powers over the community with unlawful curfew zones, check points, and kidnappings of residents focused on the immigrant communities. Saturday’s event, dubbed Defend the District, was a powerful and direct anti-Trump response from the DC community, declaring “End the occupation!”

DC Against Trump Coalition Shuts Down Racist Curfew Zone

Washington, DC – Before organizers from the DC Against Trump Coalition (DCAT) even finished setting up for their August 23 rally at 14th and U Streets in Northwest Washington DC, community members began spontaneously chanting “Fuck Trump!” Anti-Trump sentiment has been sky-high in Washington, DC since August 11, when Trump issued an executive order sweeping away the city’s home rule powers, federalizing the Metropolitan Police Department and flooding the city with federal law enforcement and National Guard troops. To capture that sentiment and turn it into action against Trump’s racist occupation, DCAT called a rally at the city’s “curfew zone,” a location where law enforcement targets Black minors found after 8 p.m.

Trump’s Invasion Of Washington DC Costs Over $1 Million A Day

August 25, 2025 Hanna Homestead, Inequality.org. Educate! Criminalization, Homelessness, Housing, National Guard, Poverty, Washington D.C.

President Trump mobilized the D.C. National Guard under the guise of restoring security in the nation’s capital — despite D.C.’s crime rate being at a 30-year low. What began as a deployment of 800 D.C. National Guard troops has grown to encompass 2,091 as of this writing, as Republican governors send hundreds more. Trump hasn’t just complained about alleged crime in the district — he’s placed a target on people experiencing poverty and homelessness. Claiming that we’re “getting rid of the slums,” Trump has called on troops and police to forcibly remove unhoused people from the city. Federal law prohibits deploying the military on U.S. soil, except under certain extraordinary circumstances.

Trump And Democrats Fuel The Washington DC Crime Panic

“The year before, Newark, New Jersey, had been occupied by nearly lily-white units of the National Guard, sent there to quell a four-day rebellion in which 26 Blacks were killed.” Glen Ford describing the 1967 occupation of Newark, New Jersey. Donald Trump’s declaration of a 30-day public safety emergency, including a National Guard deployment, in Washington DC was not, as the corporate media would have us believe, undertaken suddenly. The reported assault on one of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) former employees, Edward Coristine, was widely reported to be the casus belli of the federal attack on Washington DC.

A Message To Troops In DC From Other Service Members And Veterans

August 19, 2025 Empire Files. Resist! GI Resistance, Trump Administration, US military, Washington D.C.

War based on lies and false pretenses delivered us, our families, and civilians abroad 20 years of disaster. Now we face another war based on lies and false pretenses, but this time on American soil. The “war on crime” is a smokescreen. Crime in Washington D.C. has been at a 30-year low with a significant drop in violent crime. The motivation for the deployment of federal troops is purely based on the racist fantasies of those in power. Republicans have wanted to take over the District since 1973, when it created a Black-led political establishment. It also serves as a mechanism to test the limits of Trump’s authoritarian power. Constitutional lawyers have called this deployment “an unlawful prototype of a police state … a first step in Trump’s march to militarize America’s cities and subvert democracy.”

DC Stands Tall Against Trump’s Racist Police Invasion

August 17, 2025 Merawi Gerima, Fight Back! News. Resist! National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (NAARPR), National Guard, Trump Administration, Washington D.C.

Washington, DC – On the evening of Wednesday August 13, the DC Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (DCAARPR) organized a demonstration in Ward 7, a primarily Black ward, and one of the most overpoliced sections of the city. As organizers set up their table and speakers, a police agent in an unmarked car across the street tried to discreetly photograph attendees and license plates. As soon as he was approached by organizers with cameras, he covered his face and sped off. This encounter foreshadowed a pattern that would be repeated throughout the night of police fleeing when confronted by the people. The demonstration was called in response to President Trump’s racist executive order

Trump Deploys National Guard, Takes Over Washington, DC Police

August 11, 2025 Brad Reed, Common Dreams. Educate! Donald Trump, Fascism, National Guard, Police, Washington D.C.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday moved to deploy the National Guard on the streets of Washington, D.C., while also officially taking over the city's police department. What's more, Trump suggested that this could be a model for other American cities. As reported by NBC News, Trump said during his announcement on plans to deploy the National Guard in the nation's capital that "other cities are hopefully watching this" and that he hoped it would make them "self-clean up, and maybe they'll self-do this and get rid of the cashless bail thing and all of the things that caused the problem." Trump then named Baltimore, Oakland, New York, and Chicago as potential future targets for National Guard deployments and other measures.

In DC, A New ‘Mayor 1 Percent” This Time In Blackface

May 23, 2025 Jon Jeter, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Gentrification, Muriel Bowser, Washington D.C., Wealthy Class

Earlier this month, Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser introduced legislation to repeal a law that gradually increases the minimum wage for hospitality workers who rely heavily on customer tips for their bread and butter. If the D.C. City Council approves Bowser’s proposal, it would represent the second time that the city’s elected officials have overturned referendums in which a majority of voters endorsed pay raises for restaurant workers. Fifty-six percent of voters approved the initiative in 2018 , and endorsed it by an even wider margin, 74 percent , when it was put on the ballot four years later.

Staff employees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. announced this week an intent to unionize across departments and argue for collective bargaining rights. The effort comes amid months of layoffs and job uncertainty following major changes brought on by the Trump administration. According to multiple staff members who spoke to CBS News on the condition of anonymity, more than 150 employees that handle crucial responsibilities for the Kennedy Center — including education, donor relations, and arts programming — are sounding the alarm that the mission and legacy of the storied arts institution are at risk unless a sense of normalcy is returned to everyday operations.
