On August 11, Trump declared a "public safety emergency" in Washington, D.C. alongside deploying 800 National Guard troops, effectively taking control of the city's police force.

Saturday’s event, dubbed Defend the District, was a powerful and direct anti-Trump response from the DC community, declaring “End the occupation!” fightbacknews.org/articles/dc-ag… #Trump #ImmigrantsRights #BlackLivesMatter #EndtheOccupationDC #ICE #Cops #DC DC Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression @longlivegogo

Organized in less than 24 hours, DCAT mobilized 50 people to respond to an executive order signed by the mayor that will indefinitely allow local police forces to cooperate with federal law enforcement. fightbacknews.org/articles/washi… #Trump DC Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression

"In DC there has been a curfew in effect targeting Black Youth. Kidnappings, detainments and deportations by ICE are nonstop. But the people are fighting back. We are building a united front where anyone who wants to fight Trump and his agenda can come together…”KB DC Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression

DC Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression "You don't have to be Black to fight for Black people. You don't have to be brown to fight for brown people. you don't have to be undocumented to fight for undocumented people. You don't have to be from D.C. to fight for D.C." - KB

"In D.C., the police were already unaccountable, but under Trump there's been a level of complete cover given to them to systematically violate people's rights. There is a need for mass-base organizations…Anyone who wants to work with us, we will work with them." - KB, DC Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression

“As soon as the troops touched down in D.C., we organized an emergency protest that brought 500 protesters out on short notice. We work to create a hostile work environment for ICE, MPD and DHS…Every time we fight, we attract more people to our fight.” - Merawi Gerima, DCAARPR

"They think that by conceding on every one of Trump's demands, they will protect home rule. Home rule was fought for and won by the Black Liberation movement. Politicians didn't create it and they can't defend it." - Merawi Gerima, DC Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression
