All Out DC is an umbrella organization formed in response to the 2017 inauguration of President Donald Trump, in order to connect radical-left activist groups and strengthen local organizing. 1 Observers have connected the organization to the extremist “Antifa” movement,2 and an announcement for a 2019 All Out DC demonstration appeared on the Antifa-aligned website It’s Going Down. 3
The group was the main organizer of the “Stop the Alt-Right” rally that took place on July 6, 2019, which was organized along with other radical-left groups to protest far-right activists’ “Demand Free Speech Freedom Rally” using the hashtag #AllOutDC. The Washington Post reported that protesters included Antifa activists; the Post alleged that police blamed the Antifa activists for violence during the 2017 inauguration of President Donald Trump. 4
All Out DC has also been associated with a poster campaign that allegedly released personal information of controversial nationalist Fox News host Tucker Carlson5 and the “Shut Down DC” radical environmentalist demonstrations held in September 2019. 6
