3 Organizations Fighting Trump’s Takeover of Washington, D.C.

By: MMM Editorial Team

There is a major fight on the ground in Washington, D.C. as communities push back against Trump’s attempted takeover of the city and the federal government’s militarization of D.C. policing. Local residents, civil rights leaders, and grassroots activists are sounding the alarm on this unprecedented attack on home rule.

Here are three visionary, impactful organizations leading the resistance to defend democracy in D.C.:

Free DC (Stand Up! for Democracy in D.C.)

A women-founded grassroots nonprofit at the heart of the D.C. statehood movement, Free DC is mobilizing residents through protests, trainings, and public education. Their mission is simple but urgent: protect local self-governance and stop Trump’s attempt to strip the District of its autonomy.

The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights

As the nation’s largest civil and human rights coalition, the Leadership Conference coordinated a powerful letter signed by 116 organizations condemning Trump’s D.C. takeover. By uniting labor unions, advocacy groups, and legal organizations, they’re demonstrating the strength of collective action in protecting democracy and civil rights.

Indivisible Movement

Born from resistance to Trump’s first term, Indivisible’s grassroots network is once again mobilizing nationwide. Their “No Kings” campaign and coordinated local actions are amplifying the fight against authoritarianism and defending D.C.’s right to self-determination as part of a larger effort to save American democracy.
