Boycott Chevron Climate Caroling
Join us to and Christians for a Free Palestine to sing climate carols — parodies of Christmas carols about stopping business as usual because we’re in a climate emergency!
It’s time to wake up the politicians, the corporate leaders, and the sleepy public who are afraid to panic. We’ll provide the lyrics and the hats! You bring the holiday cheer (and a friend!).
Meet us at Dupont Circle at noon on Saturday, December 13th.
Rally to Stop Project Pipes before its Final Hearing
The Public Service Commission is hosting a final hearing on District (un)SAFE, Washington Gas’s request for a blank check to spend millions on methane gas infrastructure.

Tabling at Mt Pleasant Farmers' Market
Find us at the Mount Pleasant Farmers’ Market on Saturday, November 15th!
CLIMATE ACTIVIST MIXER + DONATION DRIVE
Join us for another mixer with activists and a mission: countering the scarcity agenda and uplifting our neighbors through a fundraiser for Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid (MSMA) (XRDC will match donations up to a collective total of $400).
Taking the Public to the PSC
Our campaign to fight dirty methane gas in DC is at a critical junction. After a big win last summer, the DC Public Service Commission (PSC) is once again considering Washington Gas’ latest proposal to saddle residents with the cost of unnecessarily replacing its gas pipelines. We’re not fooled by Washington Gas’ scheming: this is a bold cash grab that will line the gas company’s pockets while residents pay the price.
We’re keeping the pressure on to let them know that the District is watching. We will rally in front of the PSC’s office to collect and deliver written messages to demand that the PSC reject Washington Gas's expensive and dangerous District UNsafe plan. This plan would lock us into paying $12 billion for decades of fracked methane gas pipelines, all to generate higher profits for Washington Gas. The people say NO to Washington Gas and its "accelerated pipeline replacement" profit schemes.
To ensure the message gets through, we plan to gather on the first Wednesday of each month at 8:15am.
Together with other groups, we won a long fight to get the PSC to reject Washington Gas' “Project Pipes” phase 3 plan. Now Washington Gas has re-branded it, and we'll defeat it again!
SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS TALK

GROUP SAFETY WORKSHOP
XRDC invites you to learn about regenerative culture from professional facilitator and ally, Ryan McAllister. RSVP at https://actionnetwork.org/events/group-safety-workshop-2025-09/
Non-violent direct action (NVDA) training
Join Extinction Rebellion DC (XRDC) for a nonviolent direct action (NVDA) training and subsequent action.
Get trained up to join a movement of people who are stepping up to Resist the Fossil Fuel Billionaire Takeover! All over the country, thousands of activists, both new and experienced, are gathering to level up our skills and make a plan to confront fossil fuels, billionaires, and their takeover of our government. This training is intended for anyone who wants to engage in actions that effectively meet this political moment.
Traditional methods of demanding change, such as voting and lobbying, have not worked. This is why we turn to NVDA: We must use our collective power to stop business as usual and create a better future for all! Together we will confront the climate crisis and the worsening shift towards authoritarianism.
This will be a 4-hour, in-person training, starting promptly at 1pm. The training will be held at MLK Library, with the specific room location provided to those who register. An optional free vegan lunch (with gluten-free options) will be provided starting at 12pm. If you are not joining us for lunch, please be sure to arrive a few minutes before 1pm so that we can start on time.
Within a few weeks after the training, we will put our skills into practice by taking action together! During the training, participants will help decide the focus, location, and time of this action.

WGL rate-case hearing: rally against corruption
Join us Thursday, August 14th from 8:00 to 9:00 am at the Public Service Commission (PSC) to rally against Washington Gas’s proposed double digits rate hikes!
Washington Gas is asking to increase their revenue to cover costs like aging pipeline replacement (their controversial “Project [Un]Safe” program), operational expenses, and even lobbying efforts for more fossil fuels in DC.
The PSC hearing will scrutinize whether these hikes are justified and if your money is being used fairly. Community groups like the Office of the People’s Counsel and the Sierra Club will challenge Washington Gas on the fairness, safety, and environmental impact of these increases.
This is about protecting DC residents from soaring utility bills, especially low-income families already struggling, and pushing for clean energy instead of dirty methane gas.
Let’s show the PSC that DC stands united against unfair rate hikes and for a sustainable energy future!
RSVP not required but is appreciated!
