Stephen Miller is one of Trump's most powerful fascist henchmen, directing ICE’s attacks across the country, stoked white nationalist bigotry, plotting the effort to take over DC. Miller is carrying out this agenda while living comfortably at Fort McNair in Southwest DC. Make it clear Miller should be out of DC and out of power. The closest Metro station is Anacostia on the Yellow and Green Lines. The event start point is an 8-minute walk from the metro station. Then march past Fort McNair where Miller is living and end at the Waterfront Metro.
