Help Us Unmask Trump’s Federal Agents

We’re dropping a six-figure street campaign to expose the administration’s intimidation tactics.

Federal officers are running around Washington, D.C. right now, wearing masks and arresting people without identifying themselves or giving a reason. This is America in 2025.

By now, we’ve seen countless cell phone videos of people being rounded up and tossed unceremoniously into unmarked cars. The officers themselves are fully armed and armored, looking like they’re ready to go to war against a hostile foreign power, not help make our community safer.

We’ve also seen, time and time again, police refuse to show their faces when asked. Some even vented their fury that “liberals” ruined the country when bystanders asked them for some identification. Not only is this unprofessional police work, it’s downright dangerous to the members of the public that these officers are supposed to be protecting and serving.

This shouldn’t be happening, and instead of sitting around feeling powerless, more people should be standing up and speaking out against it.

That’s why today Home of the Brave launched a major ad campaign across DC telling federal law enforcement to take off their masks. We’ll have thousands of street posters, decals, and a roving mobile billboard calling on federal agents to “Take off your masks!” and asking “Why are you hiding your face? Public servants should face the public.”

We shouldn’t have to do this on the streets of the nation’s capital in the world’s oldest democracy, but this is what it’s come to. In his quest for absolute power, Donald Trump has declared war on the city that he (temporarily) calls home, and made it abundantly clear that he’s out to silence and intimidate his opponents.

It’s time to show the administration that we won’t be pushed around. This is just the opening salvo in our DC campaign, so stick around for more details in the coming days and weeks. In the meantime, here’s our only ask of you: If you believe in our mission, and are as alarmed at the authoritarianism stalking our streets right now, then consider supporting Home of the Brave.

We’re in for a long slog, and this is still the beginning of the beginning. But together we’re building a pro-democracy community that refuses to be intimidated or silenced by Trump and his masked henchmen. So help us tell cops to show their faces, and help us expose Trump’s authoritarian intimidation for what it is.

Thanks for riding with us. More to come.
