Get Ready for Action!
On December 7, as Congress returns to the Capitol for the last week of the 2021 legislative calendar we’re going to take bold direct action to demand that Congress and the administration take action to pass the programs that they promised us and we voted for. We’re taking to the streets to shut down the back-room meetings and political theater that have failed to deliver the progress that our communities need.
Planning on joining us in the streets? Join us for an organizing meeting TODAY at 2:30pm at the Petworth United Methodist Church (32 Grant Circle NW, Washington, DC)

Practice taking action and holding space together!
As 2021 comes to a close the timeline for passing the programs that our communities need is rapidly waning. We need action on healthcare, racial justice, workers rights, climate justice, and voting rights. But for too much of the Washington, DC establishment, it’s still business as usual with polite lunch meetings, press conferences, and inaction while ‘negotiations’ play out. If we want to win the breakthroughs we need in this moment, we need to disrupt business as usual and open up space for a new kind of politics.
In two days we’re going to take bold and transformative action in the nation’s Capitol. Join us at 2:30pm today to find out how you can get involved!
