Seniors Beat Pots to Defend D.C. | Washington DC News

Eighty-eight-year-old Sue HartDegen and her neighbors in D.C. are turning pots and pans into protest tools, banging them nightly at 7 PM for a year to remind the city — and the world — that Washington isn’t a war zone, even with National Guard troops on the streets. Starting last August, this grassroots movement began as a way for seniors like Sue, who can’t march in big rallies, to make their voices heard — often while using walkers and oxygen tanks. Some residents show support by hanging D.C. flags from balconies, quietly declaring pride in their city. As they mark one year of protest, they’re planning a bigger march through Franklin Park to Thomas Circle, hoping car horns will amplify their message. It’s a simple act, but a powerful symbol of resilience, love for home, and refusal to be silenced.
