SUMMARY:Monument City Mutual Aid Fair
DESCRIPTION:The Monument City Mutual Aid Fair is a modern-day mutual aid gathering grounded in the legacy of the Black Panther Party’s 1970s Survival Conferences. It is not just a resource fair\, it is a call to action\, a community stand for self-determination\, solidarity\, and collective care in the face of increasing state neglect and authoritarian overreach. \nWe are building this because the federal government is actively stripping away critical social programs\, dismantling safety nets\, defunding public health\, limiting reproductive access\, and criminalizing dissent. As they abandon our communities\, we choose to rise together\, not as passive victims\, but as organizers\, neighbors\, and protectors of one another. \nThis fair exists to fill the gaps they’ve created\, not through charity\, but through community power\, radical love\, and mutual aid. It is an unapologetic expression of our right to survive\, thrive\, and support each other outside systems that were never built for us. \nFeaturing: \n\nFree Community Resources\n\nShelf-stable foods\, seasonal clothing\, and other donated items\n\n\nFeaturing Workshops & Resource booths by:\n\nThe Father McKenna Center\nEC 4 DC\nStar of Sophia\nLeague of Women Voters DC\nLazarus\nand more to be announced!\n\n\nWorkshops On:\n\nHealthcare Literacy\nFinancial Literacy\nDomestic Violence\nTrauma and Mental Health\nNavigating Health Insurance\n\n\nOn-site Services:\n\nSupervised play area\nFree blood pressure tests\nRefreshments for attendees\n\n\n\nIf you are attending\, please claim your free ticket at EventBrite! This will help us to keep attendance running smoothly inside the building. \nMonument City Mutual Aid is an initiative focused on the provision and exchange of resources and support through mutual aid\, launched by a mixture of community members and members of 50501 DC.

SUMMARY:Rave Against the Regime
DESCRIPTION:Immigrants and citizens alike disappeared off the streets by ICE. Medicaid and SNAP slashed while billionaires profit. The Epstein files buried while the closest living witness is tampered with in front of our eyes. Corruption in plain sight. And the House moves to recess\, simply to hide their lies. \nOn August 2nd\, join us in a symbolic act of refusal. Meet us at the RAC tents at Columbus Circle in front of Union Station. From 6-8pm\, arrive when you can. We will move and walk away from the Capitol in teams. Wear what makes you feel powerful. Bring your signs. Let this walk mean something. No stage. No speeches. Just people moving forward—visibly and deliberately. \nWhile that is happening\, we hold a people’s assembly. Not a rally for one voice\, but a forum for all. We’ll share our stories\, our truths\, and begin shaping the moves that come next. This is protest on our terms. \nAnd afterward\, let your frustrations of these past few months loose and dance. Join us for a Rave Against the Regime to blow off the rage and exhaustion. (If it’s on NPS grounds\, no bar—but plenty of local spots to hit up after!) \nThis isn’t just protest. It’s preparation. Show up. Speak out. Walk away.

SUMMARY:Good Trouble Lives On
DESCRIPTION:This July 17th\, we will march\, not for what this country claims to be\, but for what it can and must become. \nWe will honor the legacy of Congressman John Lewis\, who showed us that freedom is never handed to those who remain silent\, but it is won through direct\, peaceful acts of good trouble. We will march side by side because civil rights are under attack\, because executive overreach is choking the lives and futures of our communities\, especially those already pushed to the margins. We will march because silence is no longer an option. \nThis is how we win: by showing up for each other\, standing together in the streets\, and moving in solidarity toward justice. \nBring your loved ones. Bring your courage. Stand with us as we show the world that the fight for justice did not end with John Lewis\, it lives on through us. Get ready to make Good Trouble. \nEvent Program\nWe will be joined by a coalition of speakers including Rep. Al Green (US Representative)\, Rev. Thomas Bowen (Shiloh Baptist Church)\, and Demetria McCain (NAACP LDF)\, and musicians including Freedom Futures Collective and the DC Labor Chorus. The rally will begin at 5:30pm at Franklin Park\, followed by a march through downtown DC at approximately 7:00–7:30 PM through Black Lives Matter Plaza\, ending at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. \nSong Lyrics\nView the lyrics for songs and chants for the program\, hosted by the Liberty Project. \nLivestream\nThe rally will be accessible via livestream at tinyurl.com/GoodTroubleLive in partnership with Jessica Denson of Lights On and Fourteenth Now. \nAccessibility\nWe are committed to making this event accessible to all attendees. There will be designated accessibility seating available near the stage. Additionally\, ASL interpreters will be present during the rally to ensure full participation for members of the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. \nDonate\nPlease consider donating to help fund equipment and supplies to make this event reliable and effective for all. Every contribution is greatly appreciated and helps us provide you the best experience possible! \nShare Your Photos\nUpload photos and videos from the event and share your memories with us!

SUMMARY:LOUDER THAN LIES
DESCRIPTION:While the world’s voices rise together\, we will amplify. \nJoin us online for a one-day citywide media mobilization. While Donald Trump demands tanks and a $100 million parade for his 79th birthday\, our residents face illegal firings\, rising costs\, shuttered businesses\, and the dismantling of programs meant to serve the people. The spectacle is designed to distract\, to mask hardship with pageantry\, to control the narrative. But real power lies not in spectacle\, but through our community and voices. This Saturday\, we’ll show the city as it truly is: vibrant\, defiant\, alive. Through near-live footage from across DC\, from metro stops to festivals to exhibits\, we’ll tell the story they won’t. Not a staged performance of power\, but the unfiltered reality of a people who will not be silenced. \nBe sure to follow us on social media and catch the broadcast as it happens! Links in the footer below. \nWe fully support the core message of 50501 and the nationwide call for decentralized protests across hundreds of localities. We encourage everyone to participate in ways that reflect their own capacity and comfort level. For those who wish to rally against the president’s deeply troubling call for a military parade and the broader harms of his administration\, we invite you to visit No Kings to find a demonstration near you. If you prefer a lower-risk or family-friendly environment\, consider joining Free DC for a nearby event. Mayday Movement USA will be present for their daily activities.

SUMMARY:For The Workers\, Not The Billionaires: May Day Solidarity Rally
DESCRIPTION:Across the district — from transit workers\, to restaurant employees\, to federal civil servants — the working people who keep our city running are rising up. We are demanding a country that puts our families over billionaires\, public schools over private profits\, healthcare over hedge funds\, housing over slumlords.\nMusk\, Trump and their fellow oligarchs are creating a vicious race to the bottom. They want to erase our labor rights\, bust our unions\, steal our wages\, slash our benefits\, and take away our power.\nBut this May Day 2025 we are fighting back against their war on working people — and organized labor is the most powerful weapon we have. Workers across the DMV are rallying alongside UNITE HERE Local 25 restaurant workers in solidarity for their right to organize and our collective right to have a say in our workplaces.\nUnionbusters like Stephen Starr and Elon Musk\, think their wealth gives them all the power\, but we know a working class united can never be defeated. We are organizing not just for one day\, but to build labor power across the district: in every shop floor\, school\, restaurant\, and federal building.\nSTOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER.\nWE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW.\nTHIS IS MAY DAY\, JOIN US.

SUMMARY:Fuel The Movement: Mutual Aid Day
DESCRIPTION:Coming off a historic day where an estimated 5.2 million of you all showed up to join us to declare that We the People reject the Trump/Musk administration’s war on our freedoms and future\, the 50501 movement has declared Saturday\, April 19th a nationwide day of action! Across the US people will be organizing food drives\, volunteering at shelters\, hosting teach-ins\, and finding other creative ways to show up for their communities and push back against this administration. There will be plenty of protests across the country and DMV by other 50501 groups but continued mobilization also requires continual aid.\nWe at 50501 DC are committed to the mission of community being our strength\, and so we are launching our first mutual aid event on the 50501 movement’s Day of Action. Our neighbors and collective family\, including federal workers\, have been impacted by recent job losses and policies of the Trump/Musk administration. This is why we do mutual aid\, because we take care of us\, not just when it’s easy\, but especially when it’s not. Keep an eye on this space for more information\, as well as upcoming direct actions organized or supported by 50501 DC for ways to get involved.\nNot able to donate to our food drive? Volunteer in your community! Every action\, no matter how small\, makes your community better. Whether it’s picking up trash on the side of the road\, helping at a farmer’s market\, or holding up a sign with positive words of encouragement\, every action matters.\nDon’t worry – we haven’t given up on protesting! We are planning future protests\, so keep an eye out. Our movement is not only about protesting – it is about creating a community and supporting one another during difficult times. If you’re still interested in protesting on April 19th\, our friends at Mobilize and Pol-Rev track all events nationwide\, including local DC protests.\nAll items can be dropped off at Franklin Park\, located at 1332 I St NW\, Washington\, DC 20005.\n\nWays to Help \n\nOn the day of:\n\nbring boxes\ncollect and organize items\ntransport items\n\n\nShare connections you may have for:\n\norganizations and/or businesses that can contribute to our efforts with donations\norganizations and/or groups that would be willing participants and recipients for this upcoming food drive and ones in the future\n\n\n\nLet’s come together to support each other!
