How DC is Fighting Trump's Takeover

City Cast DC

About this episode

In the two days since Trump announced his takeover of DC’s police, we’ve been struck by how the city is responding. Yes, there’s anger and sadness and fear, but also…action. Free DC is a longtime advocacy group that’s been behind a lot of the fervor this week. While many people were shocked by the announcement, Free DC has been preparing for this exact moment. We called up a Free DC organizer - who we’re calling Joe at his request to protect his privacy - to get into how the group is fighting back, what’s working and what’s not, and what’s next.
