Stop Trump’s White House Ballroom — Congress Must Say No

A federal judge has halted construction of Donald Trump’s proposed White House ballroom — but Congress could still greenlight it. That decision is coming soon, and the public must speak out now.

This isn’t just about a building. It’s about whether Congress will allow a costly, unnecessary project that reshapes a historic public space for political vanity. Even after the National Capital Planning Commission approved the design, the law is clear: Congress has the final say. That means elected officials — not unelected planners — are accountable to us.

Public pressure works. When constituents raise their voices, lawmakers listen — especially on high-profile spending decisions tied to presidential power and public trust. If Congress feels the heat from voters demanding accountability, they can and will block this project. And if they ignore us, they must answer for it.

Reports from outlets such as NPR, Axios, and Politico confirm that the project cannot proceed without congressional approval following the judge’s ruling. This is a critical check on executive overreach — and a rare moment where public input can directly shape the outcome. At a time when Americans are facing real economic challenges, Congress should not be prioritizing an extravagant expansion of the White House.

The vote or approval process could come at any time in the coming weeks. That means there is no time to wait.

Tell Congress: Reject Trump’s ballroom. Protect public resources. Defend accountability.

Add your name now and demand that your representatives vote no.
