Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
This bill would rename a section of 16th Street Northwest in Washington, D.C., located on the 1100 block near the Russian Ambassador's residence, as "Alexei Navalny Way." Alexei Navalny was a prominent Russian political dissident and anti-corruption activist who died in a Russian prison in February 2024 after being convicted on charges he and international observers considered fabricated. The legislation honors Navalny's work fighting corruption and promoting democratic freedoms in Russia, and serves as a symbolic gesture of solidarity with the Russian people and other dissidents opposed to the Putin government. The District of Columbia would be responsible for constructing two street signs displaying "Alexei Navalny Way" in the designated area, designed to match the style of signs used for Metro Station locations. The bill carries no significant federal funding requirements, as the cost of the street signs would fall to the District of Columbia.
