A Week of Democracy in Action

From June 28 through July 4, organizers from across the country will gather in the nation's capital for Seven Days in D.C. — a weeklong series of civic engagement activities, public demonstrations, and cultural events designed to encourage direct participation in the democratic process during the lead-up to Independence Day.

The event will bring together activists, organizers, artists, comedians, musicians, and citizens for a coordinated week of lobbying, voter outreach, protest education, conversations with congressional candidates, and nightly performances across Washington.
