Events This Week

Monday March 2, 7pm EST, Emergency protest against war on Iran

From: https://www.answercoalition.org/

This conflict has the potential to quickly expand into a devastating regional war which will bring unthinkable death and destruction. Already, other countries in the region have been drawn into the war. Trump is lying when he says that Iran poses any kind of threat to the United States. And he has made it clear that he is willing to sacrifice the lives of U.S. servicemembers in this regime change war, along with an unlimited number of Iranians and others in the region.

But a mass anti-war movement can put an end to this destruction! Take to the streets on Monday, March 2 to demand: From the belly of the beast, we say: Hands off Iran, hands off the Middle East!

Wednesday March 4, 6pm EST, Tenant Arrested for Organizing — Emergency Rally at Channel Square

From: Stomp Out Slumlords

A tenant at Channel Square Apartments (325 P Street SW) was arrested for attending a tenant union meeting in her own building. As residents gathered to discuss unsafe conditions — including rodents, mold, plumbing issues, and lack of heat — property management called the police. They used a previously issued “barring notice” to justify arresting a tenant leader for entering the building’s common space to meet with her neighbors. This barring notice was not issued by a judge, meaning the landlord got to play judge, jury, and executioner with a tenant that has been vocal about building condition issues.

This is retaliation. This is union-busting. It's a direct attack on the District's Right to Organize law.

And if they can do it to one tenant, they will try to do it to all of us.

Saturday March 7, 10am-4pm EST, Washington DC Free America

From: Women's March

The start of 2026 made one thing painfully clear: this administration thinks it’s above the law. We’ve watched cruelty become policy, chaos masquerade as leadership, and power exercised without accountability.

And still, women have stood up.

This moment calls for more of us to be brave.

Meet in front of the US Capitol Building in Washington DC on Saturday, March 7 and bring your signs, drums, banners, friends, family, and most of all your POWER. The War on Women must stop and we’ll make enough noise to shake MAGA’s brittle bones!
