This week is off to a busy start. On Monday night, hundreds took to D.C.’s streets in solidarity with Jacob Blake, the 29-year-old who was shot multiple times in the back by a police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin. That followed a Sunday afternoon at Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s Kalorama residence full of go-go music and calls to protect the USPS.

But the activity isn’t stopping there, as RNC-related events, ongoing protests by local grassroots organizations against police brutality, and the 2020 March on Washington are bringing thousands to the nation’s capital. Here’s a running list of what’s going on this week.

Tuesday

“Demander” Training: The Palm Collective is hosting a brief training for those hoping to join the front lines of D.C. protests against police brutality. The group has coordinated marches on the National Mall and protests on Black Lives Matter Plaza throughout the summer. The collective has four core demands (hence “demanders”). 7 p.m.; Email ​info@thepalmcollective.org​ for meeting location.

#SaveThePostOffice: A national day of actions organized by the American Postal Workers Union kicks off Tuesday. There are nearly a dozen events in the D.C. region in support of the U.S. Postal Service. Events starting between 11 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. Enter your ZIP Code to find nearby demonstrations.

Wednesday

#InternetForAll rally: Local non-profit organization Serve Your City and the Ward 6 Mutual Aid will call on local leaders to help close the digital divide and ensure that every child in the District has the internet access they need for online learning. The group estimates that more than 20,000 children in D.C. are without reliable internet and that Black and Latino students are the most underserved. 12 – 1 p.m..; John A. Wilson Building. 

Ride on Washington: The D.C. Bike Party is staging a 9-mile ride in solidarity with the movement for Black lives. The ride will end with donated food from Earl’s First Amendment Grill, music, and a socially distanced hangout. Masks are required. 7:30 p.m. (Organizers say “wheels up at 8 p.m. sharp”); Dupont Circle to Freedom Plaza

Thursday

Power to the People Rally: The Congress of Essential Workers is gathering outside Jeff Bezos’ D.C. mansion to protest work conditions at Amazon. Noon, details here. 

Purpose Party: A socially distanced gathering for D.C. grassroots organizations and national groups in advance of the March on Washington. Food and drink will be served. 7:30 p.m.; Black Lives Matter Plaza, 16th and H streets NW

Fireworks on the Mall: The Republican National Convention is hosting a fireworks show starting after 11 p.m. to mark the convention’s end and President Donald Trump’s official acceptance of the 2020 GOP nomination. A number of RNC-related events are planned throughout the week, and organizers expect these events to be met with counter protesters.

Friday

March on Washington 2020: The Rev. Al Sharpton’s “Get Off Our Necks” Commitment March is expected to draw an estimated 50,000 participants to the Lincoln Memorial and Reflecting Pool, though the crowd will be smaller than first predicted. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s latest travel restrictions list 30 “high-risk” states, and Sharpton’s National Action Network will no longer be shuttling in buses from those states. Still, the event features a program of speakers and a march from the Lincoln Memorial steps to the MLK Jr. Memorial. Guests start arriving at 7 a.m., followed by a program starting at 11 a.m., and a march from 1-3 p.m.; Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool

Live Mural Painting: Outside the National Building Museum, a new exhibit will showcase public art created during this summer’s protests against police brutality. Also, six artists will create new works inspired by the leaders of the 1963 March on Washington. Aug. 28-29 from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.; National Building Museum’s west lawn on 5th St. NW, between F and G Streets NW 

Society’s Cage: This “interpretive installation” on the National Mall aims to highlight the historic forces of racism, according to its creators at the Architects Foundation. The designers say the model was created in support of Black lives and born in the aftermath of the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. The cube-shaped sculpture is packed with symbolism and features sounds, lights, and interactive exercises. Aug 28 – Sept. 4; National Mall (12th St. and Madison Dr. NW)

Saturday

HBCU March of the Generations: Even after Friday’s huge march, the action won’t be completely over. The Live Movement and Long Live GoGo (the group behind #Moechella) are hosting a march in support of students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities. 12:30 p.m.; Banneker Recreation Center (2500 Georgia Ave. NW) to the National Museum of African American History and Culture (1400 Constitution Ave. NW)
