The Trump administration, Elon Musk, and DoGE are targeting federal workers who work to make government services better and fairer for everyone. We’re fighting back.
The federal government has unlawfully fired workers simply because they think their political beliefs are different from the Trump Administration. This is a political purge, and we won’t stand for it.
On March 26th, the ACLU filed a class action complaint to demand their reinstatement. And we need YOU to show up and rally with us.
Join us for a rally to call out this blatant attack on civil liberties and make sure the world knows: We will not be silenced.
When: Tuesday, April 8th at 11 AM EST
Where: Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street NW, Washington, DC
This isn’t just about fired federal workers- it’s about all of us. It’s about our basic first amendment rights and civil liberties. It’s about refusing to tolerate an authoritarian political purge. If they can fire people simply because they think their political beliefs and values clash with the president’s agenda,, they can come for anyone. This kind of retaliation is a violation of federal employees’ fundamental rights under the First Amendment.

Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee
The DC Local Funds Act (S. 1077) has been held at House Speaker Mike Johnson’s desk since March 18 and every day that goes by costs DC $5.5 million in funding for our schools, first responders, transit, and more.
We need the House to swiftly pass the Senate’s version of this bill to prevent dramatic reductions in services that keep DC running. A bipartisan coalition of leaders agree, and now is the time to make it happen.
On Monday April 7, join Free DC, CARE, the Washington Teachers’ Union, SBOE Reps LaJoy Johnson Law, Ben Williams, and Jacques Patterson, DC Action, the Metropolitan Washington Council AFL-CIO, Empower Ed, DC Shadow Senator Ankit Jain, Rep. Oye Owolewa, and the powerful community of DCPS students and families for Recess at the Capitol Part 2. Join us starting at 9:30 AM at Spirit of Justice Park (South Capitol St. & C St. SW) for a rally followed by a full day of office visits. Come any time and visit offices for as long as you are able and help make sure the House passes this crucial legislation.
They’re dismantling our country. They’re looting our government. And they think we’ll just watch.
On Saturday, April 5th, we rise up with one demand: Hands Off!
Pre-program at the Sylvan Theater at the Washington Monument begins at 11 am, main program at 12 pm.
50501 Movement, Indivisible and Women’s March are mobilizing to stop the MAGA assault on our country and Constitution. Across the nation, we’re taking to the streets to defend our freedoms, our rights, and our future. When those in power try to silence us, we rise louder. When they attack our communities, we fight back—together. Join us in Washington DC for a day of action.
This is a nationwide mobilization to stop the most brazen power grab in modern history. Trump, Musk, and their billionaire cronies are orchestrating an all-out assault on our government, our economy, and our basic rights—enabled by Congress every step of the way.
They want to strip America for parts—shuttering Social Security offices, firing essential workers, eliminating consumer protections, and gutting Medicaid—all to bankroll their billionaire tax scam. They’re handing over our tax dollars, our public services, and our democracy to the ultra-rich.
If we don’t fight now, there won’t be anything left to save.
Students won’t stand for the Trump administration’s relentless attacks on our education. Join the student governments of Georgetown, Howard, American, George Washington, George Mason, and Temple for the Hands Off Our Schools protest at the Department of Education (400 Maryland Ave SW) on Friday, April 4th at 4pm to make your voices heard.
Featuring Jamaal Bowman, Mary Beth Tinker, and LaJoy Johnson-Law.
