The Walking Tour of Plutocratic DC: Power and Capitalism, starting at 1:00 pm on Saturday, March 18th, will explore how institutions such as the Carlyle Group, Pepco, and City Center DC create and maintain extreme wealth in the District -and how they reshape DC’s skyline and public spaces to make the city safe for the 1%. The Walking Tour will be led by Metro DC DSA Chapter members, who will use original research on private equity, public utilities, and luxury real estate in DC to document how they exploit rentier capitalism and political connections to earn money at the expense of the 99%. The Walking Tour will explore what your electric bill, Taylor Swift’s original recordings, and luxury handbag stores have in common -and how to take power back from our local plutocrats. The tour will connect attendees with ongoing campaigns to democratize DC and its power grid led by Metro DC DSA and We Power DC.

The tour will visit 3 sites in Downtown DC after meeting at The Park at City Center (1098 New York Ave. NW) at 1:00 p.m. The tour will adjourn at 2:45 p.m. at 1001 Pennsylvania Ave. NW after just under a mile of walking, then will be followed by an optional happy hour afterward at outdoor tables at the Penn Quarter Sports Tavern. We will provide snacks and water on the tour and public bathrooms are available along the route. Make sure to sign up in advance if you may attend and indicate your ability to volunteer. The Walking Tour of Plutocratic DC: Power and Capitalism is hosted by Metro DC DSA’s Political Education Working Group and We Power DC. For more information or if you have questions, contact Taylor W at woodswt@gmail.com.
