Get Trump’s name off the Kennedy Center and keep it off federal buildings!

When Trump puts his name on American institutions like the Kennedy Center and distorts aspects of the country's history, he is putting his authoritarian stamp on the nation.

Petition to Congress: We urge you to call to remove Trump's name from the Kennedy Center. And we urge you to reject any attempt to put Trump on Dulles Airport, Penn Station, Mount Rushmore, currency, other airports, national landmarks, and monuments. We also ask that you support the SERVE Act, legislation to stop presidents from renaming historic buildings after themselves. SIGN THE PETITION! When Trump puts his name on American institutions like the Kennedy Center and distorts aspects of the country's history, he is putting his authoritarian stamp on the nation. His blatant politicization and weaponization of congressionally-approved funding for New York and New Jersey is part of this alarming trend. Last week, Trump told Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer that the White House would release funding to the states if Schumer helped get Trump's name on Dulles Airport and Penn Station. Senator Bernie Sanders called Trump's demands "brazenly corrupt" and "sick, twisted, and egomaniacal." Congress has a constitutional duty to stop Trump's grotesque autocratic glorification projects. Sign the petition: Block Trump's Kennedy Center name change and keep Trump's name off federal buildings by supporting Bernie's SERVE Act. "It's no secret that President Trump is undermining democracy and moving this country toward authoritarianism. Part of that strategy is to create the myth of the 'Great Leader' by naming public buildings after himself — something that dictators have done throughout history," Sen. Sanders said after introducing the SERVE Act. When Trump's budget director, and lead author of Project 2025, Russell Vought first withheld $16 billion in funding to NY and NJ for a massive transit project, he made the ridiculous claim that the administration wanted to ensure the money wasn't spent on "unconstitutional DEI principles." This direct assault on Congress's power to appropriate funds was always a political attack on Democratic-led states, and is now also a ploy to glorify Trump. The Kennedy Center follows a long line of landmarks and high-profile entities that Trump or his MAGA allies are trying to put his name or face on: Mount Rushmore, U.S. currency, the D.C. airport and metro, a class of American battleships, and, now, Dulles and Penn Station. Congress must protect the law, democracy, and America's most important historical and cultural institutions from Trump. Sign the petition: Get Trump's name off of the Kennedy Center and stop him from plastering "Trump" on more federal buildings. ADD YOUR NAME Paid for by DEMAND PROGRESS   Sent via ActionNetwork.org.
