On this episode, we speak with Dara Baldwin, activist, scholar, and author with over twenty years of experience in policy and social justice work. Since President Donald Trump’s federal takeover of the District of Columbia, new attention falls onto the Free D.C. movement. D.C. residents lack full voting representation in Congress and their local laws are subject to congressional oversight. The “Free D.C.” movement advocates for D.C. statehood, granting the district full representation and autonomy. Dara also sits on the advisory council for Free DC, a movement led by the people of the District of Columbia to exert their right to self-determination.
