This is the place to register in advance for the Housing and Displacement DC Walking Tour, starting at 1:00 pm at 15 Kennedy St. NW in Brightwood Park (walking to Fort Totten Metro, multiple bus lines). The tour will explore 3 sites in Northwest DC connected to how Brightwood Park was segregated and resegregated in ways that connected to race and class. The Walking Tour will connect the area's history to contemporary struggles over policing and housing. The Tour will be led by Stuart Schrader, who researches how the United States projects imperial power overseas through police training and security assistance—and how this effort reverberates to shape the policing of city streets at home. The Walking Tour will connect those efforts to the people and sites in DC that made them happen. The tour will visit the former International Police Services site, the Letelier-Moffitt Memorial at Sheridan Circle, a contemporary site, and the former International Police Academy site at the Car Barn in Georgetown. Speakers will connect this history to organizing work against policing and the exchange of violent policing tactics to the present day, specifically to ongoing organizing to ban Israeli Occupation Forces training with the Metropolitan Police Department.

The tour will meet at Dupont Circle at 1:00 p.m., and the final stop will conclude at 3:45 p.m at the Car Barn in Georgetown, followed by a happy hour afterward. We will do our best to connect people to rides from around Dupont Circle and accommodate those not able to walk the full route. Sign up here and indicate your ability to give rides and/or your need for a ride or accommodations. The Badges Without Borders Walking Tour is hosted by Metro DC DSA and its Internationalism, Political Education, and Defund MPD Work Groups, sponsored by MD 2 Palestine, and will connect to local and contemporary organizing projects and organizations.
