About this event
The last time Trump was supposed to leave office, January 6 happened. Now this same president wants to station armed soldiers in the capital through the next expected transfer of power. On July 14, 2026, the Pentagon confirmed their intent to keep National Guard soldiers stationed in DC through January 2029 . This should ring alarm bells for anyone who wants to see Trump’s reign of terror, corruption, and destruction come to an end. The news from the Pentagon came just hours after new research from the Center for American Progress shows that the National Guard’s presence in DC is doing nothing to reduce violent crime. DC residents have been saying this for months. Now we have data to back it up. Communities in DC demand an end to the "DC Safe and Beautiful Task Force," an end to the occupation, and the National Guard out now.
