Know Your Rights: Monica Hopkins

January 23rd, 2025

”The government and who we elect and the president affect every single aspect of our life.”

We discuss many of our rights that are at risk under the new Trump administration, what our rights actually are–like due process and the 1st amendment, and an action plan for when they come under attack.

Monica Hopkins is the Executive Director of the ACLU of the District of Columbia (ACLU-DC).

Your civic action toolkit recommendations from Monica are:

1. Know what your rights are and speak up.

2. Talk to your friends and family about DC statehood.
