Councilmember Charles Allen Stands Up for DC

Our Ward 6 Councilmember Charles Allen continues to speak out against Donald Trump's federal takeover of DC and for our right to self-government.

Quoting a recent statement: "President Trump’s announcement is a dangerous abuse of power and authority...[that] will make us less safe."

• Read his full statement from August 12.

• His August 16 Ward 6 update also focuses heavily on the ongoing military occupation of DC.

As Councilmember Allen recently posted on Bluesky: "This is a moral moment for DC. Washingtonians are being taken off the streets and charged with crimes that even grand juries won’t indict. Residents are scared to leave their homes, and workers are scared to go to their jobs. All while they drag our city through the mud. This is wrong. Call it out."
