REMOVE THE REGIME!

CONGRESSIONAL VISITS ● MARCH ● RALLY It’s past time to converge on our Nation’s Capital.   It’s past time to show that We the People mean business.  Our presence is our power, and this time we’re showing up with firm demands and intend to change history.  Remove the Regime is the moment we’ve been waiting for. This is not a 50-state protest.  On November 22, 2025, we will peacefully descend on the seat of power in Washington, DC to demand unmistakably that this lawless administration come to an END. We will no longer tolerate inaction or delay from elected officials as Donald Trump commits actual treason.  We are calling out their complicity in the sabotage of American democracy unless and until they honor their oath. We are demanding impeachment and removal, and we are demanding it NOW. We will be joined by movement leaders, veterans, musicians, comedians, pastors, farmers, social media influencers and more. The Dropkick Murphys will headline our

We Are America March – DC Welcome Rally

More than a walk—a people’s movement.On September 6th regular Americans will set out from Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, carrying a copy of the U.S. Constitution on a 160-mile pilgrimage to the steps of Congress. Each day, we’ll invite more neighbors to join — for a rally, a family picnic, a teach-in, a mile, a day, or all the way to Washington. Why it matters right now. Unchecked power thrives on silence; a visible river of Americans proves we’re still paying attention. By marching together we send Congress—and most importantly, each other—a clear message: our communities won’t stand aside while democracy is destroyed. The marchers will end their march at the Rally stage on the‬ eastern end of the National Mall, by 3rd St. SW.‬ ‭ Join 50501-DC to cheer the marchers on, display your signs, and demand that Congress honor their‬ Constitutional responsibility to provide checks and balances in our government!‬ Volunteer We are in need of more marshals and medics

We are All DC: A National March

DC communities are powerful, connected, and under attack.

DC communities are calling on allies nationwide to join us on Saturday, September 6 for a national march from our local communities to the White House to demand that the federal forces leave DC now. Register on the website to let them know you’ll be there.

Street Smarts: Protest Safety 101 Part One

When I look in the mirror, I see the scar above my eyebrow from a police baton, one eye squints a little more than the other from the several times I’ve been maced, and my hair is slowly frosting from decades of street-level protesting. My relationship with activism is the longest relationship I’ve ever had, and as time marches on, so do I; boots on the pavement, fist to the sky. The first time I went to a protest, I showed up looking like a tourist at a political Warped Tour. Black skinny jeans, black band tee, black Vans, long hair in my face, and a plucky can-do attitude. I didn’t know what a legal observer was, didn’t know the difference between a kettle and a barricade, and definitely didn’t know what to do when a line of riot cops suddenly marched in unannounced just like the movies. That was a long long time ago. Since then, I’ve marched, screamed,
