Defend Rock Creek Emergency Rallies

  • 6300 16th Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20011 United States (map)

Join us to protest the National Park Service as they have begun to cut down 1,000+ trees in Rock Creek Park to expand the Golf Course and build a driving range.

This project is an abomination and represents a huge loss for our community, fueling:

  • Climate change

  • Ecosystem destruction

  • Environmental injustice

  • Gentrification

We must work together to stop the devastation of these sacred trees, protect endangered species in Rock Creek, and unite against profit-driven desecration of indigenous lands. Attend these rallies to tour the cutting sites, resist the project, and build organizational power together. There we will uplift our demand for a Citizen’s Assembly and a more thorough study of environmental impact!

Rock Creek Park is for the community, the animals, and the earth, but this project would primarily serve just the wealthiest residents of DC while destroying local ecosystems.

This local struggle also echoes indigenous struggles globally. Land destruction is a tool of colonizers everywhere from Palestine to the Congo to Ecuador to DC. We have a duty to defend the land from all forces of economic greed and profit-driven violence.

Please spread the word. Take action with us this week. Defend the land, defend our future.
