About:  Third Act DMV is holding an “86 the Arch” vigil to protest the planned Trump Arch.  We will also have several rallies during the event.

Over those three days, we will have a round-the-clock presence at Memorial Circle, complete with a mock Arch and plenty of banners and signs, protesting this egotistical and outrageous structure which will overwhelm the area, block the view from Arlington Cemetery to the Lincoln Memorial, and disgrace the historical significance of the Memorial Bridge.

Trump has proposed building a massive triumphal arch to be  the “"biggest one" in the world to honor “me.”  If built, the arch will dwarf everything in its proximity, including some of the nation’s capital’s most iconic architecture, rich with symbolism and history.  At 250 feet tall, the arch will be more than twice the height of the 100 ft tall Lincoln Memorial.  It will block the majestic view from Arlington National Cemetery to the Lincoln Memorial, and it will detract from the significance of Memorial Bridge, dedicated in 1932 to unite the North and the South.
