On Earth Day 2023, XRDC will be participating in the End the Era of Fossil Fuels event, which will involve a rally, a march to the White House, and an organizing fair.

At the start of the march, join XRDC for a joyful, disruptive action focused on ending deadly fossil fuel infrastructure right here in DC. We will move together to a nearby location for the action – more details to come!

...WHY? Our lives are desperately dependent on fossil fuels. That’s how the system works. That’s how the system was built. And that’s how the system fails us. It’s time to get fossil fuel filth out of Washington DC—and our lives—for good.

Extinction Rebellion DC is escalating our campaign to stop Washington Gas—the only company in the city that pipes toxic methane gas into your home—from spending $5 billion on more gas infrastructure.

If Washington Gas gets its way, then DC will lock in planet-heating fossil fuel pollution for decades to come. Its methane pipes will continue to poison DC residents, exposing our children to a cocktail of toxins that cause severe illness and early death.
