a Julian Assange Birthday Protest USA, hosted by Yellow Vest USA on the
National Mall, WDC 20817. Global protests are being held on this day is
support of Julian Assange on his birthday. As the founder of WikiLeaks he took
immense risks to put the truth in the public eye. Currently in prison unjustly,
his arrest symbolizes a bleak future for us all if he is not freed. As long as
he remains jailed, so too does the notion of a free press. If we can come
together for this cause we can demand not only his freedom but ours too. Visit

The Cube of Truth is a peaceful static demonstration akin to an art
performance. This demonstration operates in a structured manner that triggers
curiosity and interest from the public; and attempt to lead bystanders to a
vegan conclusion through a combination of local standard-practice animal
exploitation footage and conversations with a value-based sales approach.
Masks, signs, and outreach literature are provided. Black upper clothing
appropriate for the weather is essential, and please bring a fully charged
laptop or tablet if you have one. If you are bringing a laptop or a tablet,
please download the following: Media Player: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ or Footage: https://goo.gl/so6qGp. See https://www.facebook.com/events/440764103427409/.

– On Thurs.,
July 4 from 11 AM to noon, What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July? The
question is hosted by Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, 1411 W
St. SE, WDC 20020. Frederick Douglass famously posed this question to an
audience in Rochester, New York, in 1852. In his speech, Douglass pointed out
the bitter irony of celebrating freedom in a nation that still allowed slavery
to exist. Come to hear a professional actor portray Frederick Douglass and
deliver excerpts from his famous speech. The program will take place from the
front porch of Cedar Hill, Douglass's historic home in Anacostia. Seating
will be available, but may be limited. The program will be outdoors. Visitors
are encouraged to bring blankets, chairs, and water bottles. Free parking is
available on-site. Abbreviated tours of the home will be offered to event
attendees. Check out https://www.facebook.com/events/323141985303242/.

– Please join CODEPINK in protest, as it celebrates freedom of
speech on the 4th of July! Have permit, will fly the Baby Trump blimp on July 4
while Donald Trump gives his "A Salute to America" address at the
Lincoln Memorial. Gather from 2 to 6 PM on the National Mall on the Northwest
side of the Washington Monument at 17th Street. Trump's America has been one of
putting children in cages, dangerous instigation towards war with Iran, banning
refugees and immigrants, aligning with the murderous Saudi regime, supporting
Israel's occupation of Palestinian land, and spreading hate and racism. On the
4th of July, Trump plans to bring those sentiments to what has traditionally
been a nonpartisan holiday in D.C. Enter at 15th and Madison NW (closest Metro is Smithsonian) or 17th and
Constitution NW (closest Metro is Federal Triangle). Email
info@codepink.org.
This
will be an anti-imperialist festival, complete with a Trump impersonator
contest, a dance party, and much more. Volunteers are needed throughout the day
to pull it off. Volunteer for one or more two hour shift from 10 AM to 8 PM.

On Thurs., July 4 from 3 to 10 PM, Protest Trump, hosted by Fire Trumps
Works at the Lincoln Memorial, The National Mall, WDC 20024. Trump has taken
over the Independence Day celebrations at the National Mall in Washington. All
indications are that he will try to convert this traditionally non-political
celebration of America into a partisan event focused on himself. This is
outrageous. Voice dissent at Trump, his policies, and his lawless assault on
our Constitution. Arrive early to claim a spot as close as possible to
where Trump will be speaking. Pack a picnic, bring your friends, relax, and
enjoy the day. But when Trump starts speaking, let him, the media, and the
world know what you think of his lawless assault on our Constitution. Then
enjoy the fireworks. See https://www.facebook.com/events/455456405209790/.

Fri., July 5 from 11 AM to 2 PM, get over to the Stop the Raids Protest,

Benjamin Banneker Park, march to ICE headquarters on behalf of families that
are being and/or have been separated. ICE has been terrorizing our

Families should not live under constant fear of being separated. Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/471799730059899/.
