DC-Area Group Protests President Trump's Plan for Arch Near Memorial Circle
A group known as Third Act, composed of elders focused on protecting democracy and the planet, is protesting President Donald Trump's plan to construct a triumphal arch near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. The protest coincides with the annual Rolling to Remember motorcycle ride, drawing attention to the proposed arch, which the group criticizes as a 'vanity project.' The arch, approved by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, is planned to be 250 feet tall and include an observation deck. The group argues that the arch would disrupt historical sightlines and has organized a three-day demonstration to express their opposition. The National Capital Planning Commission is set to discuss the project in June, and the Federal Aviation Administration is assessing potential risks to nearby air traffic.
