Take Action on RFK
DC is considering a proposal to redevelop the RFK Stadium grounds into a new NFL facility for the Washington Commanders. Unfortunately, the current proposal does not serve the surrounding communities. Take action to ensure your ideal RFK Future becomes a reality.
The next DC Council vote is on September 17, 2025. There’s still plenty of time to make your voice heard.
The deal isn’t done yet. DC deserves better
Before the second DC Council vote on 9/17, there are many changes that can be made to the current proposed deal. Showing up to the Wilson Building has a huge impact in letting the Council know we deserve better.
Not sure what to say? Here are some talking points.
Before a deal is signed
Read our standard text, customize the text as you see fit, and send this off to DC decision-makers—it's that easy! Customizing can have a strong impact. We recommend adding personal anecdotes about how the current proposed deal could negatively affect your quality of life.
Show up and make your voice heard at important events related to the future of Kingman Park and its surroundings.
Thank you to the 500+ who signed up to testify on 7/29!

Whether or not you support a stadium
Ward 7 wants to ensure our community is put first if we bring a stadium to DC. The best way to protect our neighborhoods is through a strong Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) that will bring investments and resources directly into our community, while respecting the rich history and culture of our neighborhood.
Make your voice heard about what you want for the RFK development site
Hold DC Council accountable to include what the community wants
Environment, Labor, Affordable Housing, Grocery Stores…
No matter what your interest area, there are other groups aligned who want the best for the redevelopment site. Check out our resource list for organizations we admire.
Support transit infrastructure over cars
The current proposal calls for two giant parking garages — housing thousands of vehicles — directly across from Kingman Park homes, threatening the health and safety of our community and impeding access to the riverfront.
There is a better way! Most neighbors we’ve spoken with propose adding a new metro infill station along Benning and Oklahoma Ave NE, reducing parking overall, and relocating what's left to unoccupied portions of the RFK site and surrounding areas. Follow our friends at Kingman Park Action for more information.
In such a fraught time for our city, enjoy #TheRealDC at the Kingman Park Meetup. Join for a celebration of our community. We’ll have a few lawn games, t-shirt decorating, a cookie exchange, and more. Bring your own lawn games, a picnic blanket or chair, a dozen cookies if you want to participate in the exchange, and plenty of water. Family friendly and dog friendly. (Dogs must be on-leash.)
RFK Future will be available to answer questions about the RFK Stadium redevelopment.
Meet up on Oklahoma Ave NE near E St NE.
