Our City, Our Team, Our Future. *
We want a stadium and neighborhood that is:
A Fair Deal for DC
Sustainably Built and Operated
Transit-first, and
Maximizes Affordable Homes
DC residents and businesses are footing the bill for this new neighborhood and stadium, and deserve tangible results when it comes to housing, transportation and the environment. Our coalition will provide community-driven oversight, bring community-vetted and proven solutions to the Commanders, and earn a seat at the table with the team and the District as we push for lasting results for the surrounding neighborhoods and DC as a whole.
Key decisions are being made now that will shape the site and surrounding communities for decades. We meet monthly on the first Wednesday of the month (6-7:30pm) to organize ourselves and set strategy together.
We invite you to read our coalition strategy, our detailed list of shared priorities for each of those goals and to Join Us!
DC residents are giving over $1 billion
for the new development at the RFK stadium. We think that earns us a seat at the table.

Our Working Groups

Communications
As organizations and leaders who represent tens of thousands of DC residents, we aim to shape the public narrative about this massive project — a narrative that has too often excluded the voice of the community.
-
Events
Core to our coalition strategy is balancing the power dynamic surrounding this project. We seek to ensure DC residents and organizations are at the decision-making table.
-
Policy
Our coalition aims to bring real outcomes and solutions to the table, based out of our shared priorities. This means developing, evaluating and refining policy proposals that puts DC residents’ needs first.
