This is the place to register in advance for the Big Tech and Capitalism: DC Walking Tour, starting at 1:00 pm on Saturday, October 7 in Farragut Square. The Walking Tour will explore 3 sites in downtown DC connected to how tech firms undermined racial justice, used illegal lobbying to displace existing companies, and used DC as a model to remake urban spaces around the world in Uber’s image. The Walking Tour will be led by Katie Wells, Kafui Attoh, and Declan Cullen, the authors of the new book Disrupting DC: The Rise of Uber and the Fall of the City and will draw on material and research from the book. The Walking Tour will explore sites related to how Uber made DC into a model for Big Tech’s interventions in local government, and other sites connected to Big Tech’s campaign to make profits through lobbying and influence in local government. The Walking Tour will connect attendees to campaigns to organize the DC area led by Metro DC DSA.

The tour will make 3 stops in Downtown DC. The tour will meet at Farragut Square (912 17th Street NW) at 1 pm, and the tour will adjourn at 3:00 pm nearby. The tour will be followed by a happy hour afterward at outdoor tables at Penn Quarter Sports Tavern. We will provide snacks and water on the tour. Sign up here if you may attend and indicate your ability to volunteer. The Walking Tour is hosted by Metro DC DSA’s Political Education Working Group.
