On the 15th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks, a "Unity Walk" originated at Washington Hebrew Congregation, ended at the Islamic Center, and stopped in at most of the churches, temples, and other religious institutions along the way. The march was in opposition to religious hate, under the theme "know your neighbor." At the Islamic Center, a Jewish Rabbi spoke condemning the persecution of US Muslims that has taken place since the entirely foreign 9-11 attacks. No direct mention of Trump and the wave of hate he was stirred up was necessary.

On the 7th of September, Code Pink protested US arms sales to Saudi Arabia at the Hart Building as Congress came back to town. Saudi Arabia is using those US weapons to bomb Yemen in support of their sectarian agenda there and has even bombed schools. While one team stayed outside a second team went inside-and was threatened with arrest over giving supporters of Saudi Arabia's bombing campaign the "bloody hands" treatment.
