Take the Reading Room to DC — blocks from the White House

Tax deductible
Nearly ten thousand New Yorkers walked through 3,437 volumes of the Epstein files. 250+ news outlets covered it. 50+ million people saw it online.

That was the warm-up.

In June 2026 — in time for the president's birthday, blocks from the White House and the Department of Justice — we're opening The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room in Washington, DC.

Twice the space. Twice the timeline. Twice the impact. Twice as loud.

The cover-up is in Washington. So we're going to Washington.


WHAT NEW YORK BUILT

In 16 days in a Tribeca gallery, we put the entire released Epstein archive on a shelf — and ten thousand people came to see it.

  • 3,437 bound volumes of the partially redacted Epstein files
  • 3.5 million pages, printed and shelved
  • 17,000 pounds of evidence
  • ~10,000 visitors in 17 days (May 8–24, 2026)
  • 250+ press outlets covered it
  • 50 million+ views across social media

WHY DC. WHY NOW.

The Department of Justice has been sitting on these files for nearly a year. The Trump administration has spent every day since trying to make you forget what's in them.

We're going to make it impossible.

In Washington, the Reading Room becomes:

  • Twice the space — a larger venue, more shelves, more visitor capacity
  • Twice the timeline — the documented Trump–Epstein record, doubled in size, with new research added since NYC
  • Blocks from the White House — and blocks from the DOJ that won't release the rest
  • Open in time for the president's birthday — June 2026

When the people running the cover-up walk to work each morning, the Reading Room will be there.



WHAT THE READING ROOM IS

The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room is the only place in the country where you can stand inside the entirety of the released Epstein files.

3.5 million pages of court records, deposition transcripts, flight logs, victim statements, and government correspondence — printed, bound, and shelved in 3,437 numbered volumes.

  • At the center: a tribute to the survivors and victims of Epstein's crimes — and a public message wall where every visitor can leave a note.
  • Around the walls: the documented, fact-checked timeline of the decades-long, public-record relationship between Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.

This isn't a website. It's a room you walk into. The magnitude becomes undeniable.


WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES

Moving 17,000 pounds of paper from New York to Washington isn't a metaphor. It's a budget line.

Every dollar funds:

  • Shipping and transport (17,000 lbs of bound volumes + installation hardware)
  • Doubled venue lease blocks from the White House — twice the square footage, twice the timeline
  • Expanded Trump–Epstein timeline wall — new research, new printing, new fabrication
  • Survivor advocacy partnerships (me too. International, SOAR, World Without Exploitation, NYC Alliance Against Sexual Assault)
  • Outreach, press operations, and amplification — getting national and international media to Washington
  • Union build-out, on-site security, insurance, contingency

100% of GoFundMe contributions pay for the tour.



SUGGESTED CONTRIBUTIONS

  • $25 — prints one volume of the Epstein files for the DC shelves
  • $100 — funds an hour of expanded timeline research
  • $500 — sponsors a day of DC staffing
  • $1,000 — underwrites the installation of one full bookcase
  • $5,000 — Founders' Wall recognition inside the DC Reading Room
  • $10,000+ — private donor briefing and curator-led walkthrough before public opening


THE FILES BELONG TO THE PUBLIC

These documents were paid for by the public. Fought for by survivors. Released by court order.

The Department of Justice has decided you shouldn't have to see them. We disagree.

Help us put them on a shelf in Washington — where the entire country, and the people doing the burying, can't look away.
