Free DC 成为华盛顿反特朗普抵抗的象征

随着唐纳德·特朗普第二任期扩大联邦对华盛顿特区的权威,公民团体 Free DC 已崛起为抵抗努力的核心力量。该组织将行动主义融入日常生活,旨在动员超过 24,500 名居民捍卫城市的自治权。

特朗普总统第二任期近一年,华盛顿特区已感受到影响,包括移民与海关执法局(ICE)特工会增加、国民警卫队部队、海量联邦裁员,以及肯尼迪中心外墙添加特朗普的名字。在这种联邦过度干预中,Free DC 已成为该市突出的反对力量,将抵抗融入日常公民生活。

2025 年 1 月特朗普第二次就职周末推出的 Free DC,由联合创始人 Alex Dodds、Keya Chatterjee、Nee Nee Taylor 和 Kelsye Adams 创立。该名称源于 Marion Barry 1960 年代民权集会口号,并获得其遗孀 Cora Masters Barry 许可,她表示:“Free DC 应该像‘上帝保佑美国’一样——你应该随时随地对任何人说它。”受 Erica Chenoweth 和 Maria J. Stephan 所著《Why Civil Resistance Works》一书启发,该团体目标是动员华盛顿特区人口的 3.5%——约 24,500 人——进行非暴力抵抗,反对联邦干涉。

活动包括陪审团职责培训以培养怀疑陪审员、每周国会山访问反对削减地方自治的法案,以及应对 ICE 突袭或拍摄警察的研讨会。3 月,Free DC 动员数百人阻挡国会超过 10 亿美元预算削减,导致参议院一致恢复资金,尽管众议院未投票,需要变通办法。9 月沿 16 街的游行抗议特朗普对执法机构的接管。

“作为陪审员,我们拥有巨大权力来决定本届政府及其议程是对——还是错,”Dodds 在一次培训会上表示。Chatterjee 补充:“如果他们剥夺我们的权利,并不意味着我们不回应,”她指出对华盛顿特区每一次攻击的回应。Taylor 描述转变:“2020 年是跳棋。我们必须与这个政府下象棋。”

通过选区委员会和议题小组扩展,Free DC 已吸引数千人并售出超过 10,000 件 T 恤。成员如 Samantha Trumbull 在国会山游说,而在黑人占多数的 7 区和 8 区的努力注重可及参与,例如青年知晓权利培训。该团体批评市长 Muriel E. Bowser 未有力反对联邦行动,尽管其盟友称其为战略性举措。

随着 2026 年选举临近,Free DC 计划提供背书。尽管特朗普或共和党人未让步,Taylor 坚持为自治权而战。8 月,在华盛顿精神队比赛中,球迷在第 51 分钟高呼“Free DC”,象征建州愿望。Chatterjee 强调:“它是我们的,他们不能占有它。”
