5/8 (in person, DC) 12:30 PM - URGENT CALL TO ACTION: Join Hands Off DC Coalition at the House Oversight Committee Hearing re: Student Protests @ DC Campuses

Wednesday, May 8, 12:30 PM - in person at Rayburn House, 45 Independence Ave SW

URGENT CALL TO ACTION 🚨:

Over the past two weeks, GW students joined a nationwide movement opposing the genocide in Palestine. However, DC lack of statehood invites interference from GOP members of Congress.

On May 8, the House Oversight Committee plans to convene a hearing regarding student protests on college campuses in DC. But here’s the deal: some are using this as a platform to pressure local leaders to ramp up police violence against student demonstrators. 🚫

Join us at Wednesday's hearing to send a clear message: 🗣 DC residents won't tolerate meddling from GOP. It’s time they #MindYourOwnState and respect our DC's autonomy. #HandsOffDC

That’s why the Hands Off DC coalition is rising up in solidarity with the @dc4ceasefire Coalition. We support DC students and their constitutional right to protest, and we refuse to let political agendas threaten their safety and civil rights.

📅 May 8th at 12:30 PM
📍 Rayburn House, 45 Independence Ave SW
