A corner of Chevy Chase is becoming something of a message board for a seething Democratic city with little other recourse.

The tony upper Northwest neighborhood got a powerful, if temporary, resident when Vice President-elect Mike Pence rented a home there ahead of inauguration. Within days, a number of his neighbors installed rainbow flags—a proud, flying rebuke of Pence’s record of opposing gay rights and promoting “conversion therapy.”

Now, a series of signs declaring that “This Neighborhood Trusts Women” have started popping up in the area, including one directly across the street from the 5-bedroom house that Pence and his family have rented.

The lawn signs are courtesy of NARAL Pro-Choice America, which advocates for abortion rights around the country.

“Part of our charge following the election is making sure that Mike Pence knew just how off base he was with the majority of Americans when it comes to abortion access,” says NARAL’s communications director Kaylie Hanson Long. “The best way to let him know that is to go literally right to his door step and tell him.”

When the group knocked on doors to see if neighbors were interested in making a statement, they were overwhelmingly enthusiastic, according to deputy field organizer Anne Bailey. A mere 6.5 percent of the local precinct voted for the president-elect. “They were glad to have a way to show their resistance to the anti-choice and anti-woman agenda,” Bailey says.

Trump has said that he believes same-sex marriage is “settled” law but Roe v. Wade can and should change, vowing to appoint justices that will be “pro-life.” Meanwhile, Pence has been at the forefront of the crusade, signing some of the country’s most restrictive abortion regulations as governor of Indiana.

As with Planned Parenthood, NARAL saw an outpouring of donations since the election in Mike Pence’s name. The group says it received more than $350,000 from people in all 50 states “in honor” of the president-elect.

Pence and his ilk “need to know that we’re there and listening. We’ll be wherever they are frankly,” Bailey says. “It’s not just Chevy Chase. It’s part of a nationwide effort to channel the energies of our members, new and old, to make sure [the administration] knows their anti-choice actions stand in direct opposition to what the majority of Americans want.”

While lawn signs and flags—not to mention protest graffiti and shining projections—may have little chance of changing the administration’s hearts and minds, D.C. doesn’t have much else going for it. With a Republican-dominated legislature, expect to see continued blocks on budget autonomy, marijuana regulations, local spending for abortion, and needle exchanges, along with renewed moves to roll back the city’s non-discrimination and gun laws. The latest GOP platform explicitly rejected statehood.

Mayor Muriel Bowser met with Trump earlier this month and said that the president-elect is “a supporter of the District Of Columbia,” but it isn’t clear what exactly that means, if anything at all.

Meanwhile, other efforts by neighbors to engage Pence have gone unanswered, including an offer of a “welcome to the neighborhood” event. And while Stand with Comet organizer Erick Sanchez spoke with Pence’s office about inviting the president-elect to dine at the neighborhood restaurant plagued by Pizzagate, Sanchez says he hasn’t heard back since the initial call.
