Washington, D.C.
June 28 – July 4, 2026
The Nation's Capital
Get Involved
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.
Congressional lobbying coordinated through FLARE — For Liberation And Resistance Everywhere.
On-the-ground voter outreach efforts across Washington throughout the week.
Workshops focused on organizing strategy, protest planning, and civic action — building skills that last beyond the week.
Nightly performances featuring comedy, live music, and guest speakers at venues across the city — free and ticketed.
Sustained visibility actions throughout the city, creating a civic presence during one of Washington's most visible weeks.
Conversations with congressional candidates and fellow organizers — strengthening the networks that make change possible.
Organizers from across the country arrive in Washington. Opening gatherings for the week ahead.
Structured civic engagement each day: congressional office meetings coordinated by FLARE, voter outreach, organizing workshops, and protest strategy sessions. Evenings feature cultural programming — comedy, music, and speakers — at venues across the city.
The week builds toward larger public gatherings and performances as more visitors arrive in Washington for the holiday weekend.
Organizers shift focus to maintaining a sustained civic presence throughout the city — encouraging public participation and reflection during Independence Day celebrations.
"This is about showing up. Not just watching politics from a distance, but participating in it — meeting representatives, registering voters, learning how organizing works, and being part of a larger civic community."
Seven Days in D.C. aims to increase voter engagement, strengthen organizing networks, and bring national attention to civic participation during a historic moment for the country. Additional details — including venues, performers, and speakers — will be announced in the coming weeks.
