Archive USAID History
The Center for Development History is building an oral history of USAID so we don’t lose our nation’s precious history to Trump’s lies. If you’re a USAID veteran willing to share your story, or a volunteer willing to help conduct interviews, visit this link.
Calling Congress
Want to express your concerns to Congress? Use our custom Senate call sheet with phone numbers and zip codes to call any member of the U.S. Senate. Remember, you can call any member you want, not just the ones who you vote for. Happy calling! (Here’s a helpful script you can use).
Graphic Design Support
In future editions of Organize DC, we’ll be including more resources for Organizers to start their own protests. We’re working to include a directory of pro-bono graphic designers so new protest organizers can have access to good-looking promotional materials. If you or someone you know is interested- email organizewashdc@gmail.com .
Grassroots Organizations Directory
To fulfill Organize DC’s mission of supporting coordination and collaboration between grassroots groups, we are working to build a Grassroots Directory. This would include contact information of all anti-Trump protest organizations in the DMV area, with the goal of easing communication across our vast network. We hope this will allow organizer level collaboration on future protests, as well as increase protestor turnout across the board. If your anti-Trump organization would like to be listed on this directory, please email us at organizewashdc@gmail.com .
Book Rec
There’s been a lot of chatter in the media about how this moment mirrors the Tea Party movement of the early 2010s. If that’s the case, then we best learn from the past, which is why this week’s book is “When the Tea Party Came to Town” by NYT journalist Robert Draper. The book highlights new Tea Party members of Congress who came in to break the GOP’s establishment, and their method of bringing about the change they wanted to see, no matter the cost. The story of the 2010s Tea Party provides both a strategic analysis for grassroots planners as well as a cautionary tale, as the movement’s populist energy ultimately consumed itself, giving way to the MAGA cult.
