Monday July 21, 11am EDT, Texas Moms Rising Memorial for Children
From: Texas Moms Rising
27 children at summer camp died in catastrophic flooding in Texas last week. This is every parent's nightmare. Our hearts break for these children, the more than 100 other people who lost their lives in the flooding, for their families and communities.
As Texas moms, we can't and won't stand by while our children's lives are put at risk by Trump and the GOP's drastic cuts to the National Weather Service, NOAA and FEMA. And we won't stand by while our leaders support the polluting fossil fuel industry responsible for worsening extreme weather.

It sometimes goes after 6:15 if people want to stay. Our messaging is strictly PRO DEMOCRACY and specifically not anti-Trump. We take this approach to demonstrate a non-threatening style of protest that we hope will appeal to a wide array of observers--esp. those who may be unfamiliar with, or uncomfortable with, protests.

Yesterday, workers announced a call for DC customers to boycott these restaurants, asking the public not to eat, meet, or drink at these locations. The boycott is set to apply to STARR's Osteria Mozza, The Occidental & Le Diplomate, and Knightsbridge's Rasika, Modena & Bombay Club. This boycott is supported by dozens of national progressive lawmakers.
