Union members rally against President Trump's federal takeover of Washington DC

"Free DC! Free DC!" Protesters and union members assembled for a labor-centered rally against the federal takeover of law enforcement in Washington DC on Thursday at Dupont Circle. "End military occupation! D.C. Statehood Now" read a banner. Nearby, National Guard troops armed with rifles stood watch. "Here in DC, we need to fight back, right now, the same way that labor unions do all the time, by refusing to cooperate with a system that is abusing us until the people who have the power meet our demands," said "Free DC" co-founder Keya Chatterjee. "We demand the escalated federal forces leave DC immediately!" she explained. "We demand ICE get out of our communities!" "We demand that federal workers get their jobs back! We demand power over our own budget, laws, and justice system here in DC!" "We demand that DC is admitted as the 51st state!" "When the people are occupied, resistance is justified!" Hundreds of activists at union members marched against President Trump, chanting "Unions, not hate make America great!" "Who runs this city? We run this city!"
