Tell DC’s leaders: Stop the Billionaire Giveaway of RFK!

RFK is DC’s land and should be developed to benefit DC residents. Yet Mayor Bowser wants to give away most of RFK and spend billions of taxpayer dollars to subsidize a stadium for billionaire team owners. Subsidies for wealthy investors who can afford to build their own stadium are outrageous, especially now when our leaders are deeply cutting health, housing, and environmental services that will hurt tens of thousands of residents.
The stadium deal is now in the Council’s hands. We must tell them to pass a deal without massive corporate subsidies, without giving away our land for virtually nothing, and without overwhelming a residential community with huge parking garages.
Instead, let’s demand development that directly benefits residents, including those living near the stadium and east of the Anacostia River. RFK development should:
- Create real economic development with tax revenue that can benefit DC residents
- Create good-paying jobs
- Create affordable housing
- Preserve and expand recreation opportunities
- Make RFK a model for environmentally sound development
- Support public transit
Take action here to tell the Mayor and DC Council: RFK should be developed for the community, not a billionaire’s playground!
