It is bad enough to have Trump institute a militarized Federal occupation of DC. But on top of that to have 31 Democrats sign on to trampling the self-determination of the 700,000 residents of DC? Thatโ€™s a gut punch. Shame on them. #FreeDC

The Trump administration has ordered the removal of signs and exhibits related to slavery at multiple national parks, including a historic photograph of a formerly enslaved man showing scars on his back.

We are suing to block the federal government takeover of DC police.

By illegally declaring a takeover of MPD, the Administration is abusing its temporary, limited authority under the law.

This is the gravest threat to Home Rule DC has ever faced, and we are fighting to stop it.

DC Charter school alliance Statement on federal law enforcement deployed to DC:
โ€œThe administrationโ€™s unprecedented action infringes on the rights and autonomy of DCโ€™s residents. Our city is safest when community organizations partner with MPD, and todayโ€™s announcement from the White House threatens to roll back the progress that has been made to ensure that all students can live and learn safely. We stand with city leaders and our powerful community of educators as they work to protect our students, families, and communities from unnecessary overreach by the federal government. Student safety is our greatest priority, and the DC Alliance is committed to working with our local and federal agencies to ensure students can live and play in our city without fear.โ€

N.Y. tells Trump administration it wonโ€™t comply with anti-DEI school order The New York State Education Department said Trump canโ€™t force public schools to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs or withdraw funding as punishment.
