Bill > HR6578

This bill proposes to rename the area of 16th Street Northwest between H Street and K Street in Washington, D.C. from "Black Lives Matter Plaza" to "Charlie Kirk Freedom of Speech Plaza". The legislation requires the District of Columbia to construct at least two street signs displaying the new name, which must be similar in design to Metro station signs. These signs would be placed at the intersections of 16th Street with H Street and K Street within 90 days of the bill's enactment. All future legal documents, maps, and records referencing this area would automatically use the new name. Charlie Kirk is a conservative political commentator, and the bill appears to be a symbolic gesture potentially challenging the previous street naming honoring the Black Lives Matter movement. The bill explicitly notes that the area was previously designated as "Black Lives Matter Plaza" under a 2020 District of Columbia act.
