H.R. 6578 would rename the area of 16th Street Northwest between H and K Streets in Washington, D.C., currently known as Black Lives Matter Plaza, to "Charlie Kirk Freedom of Speech Plaza." The bill, introduced in December 2025, would require the District of Columbia to construct and install at least two new street signs within 90 days of the law's passage, designed similarly to Metro station signs and placed at the two main intersections of the designated area. The legislation affects residents and visitors in that section of downtown Washington, D.C., and essentially replaces the symbolic designation established in 2020 with a new name. There is no specific federal funding mechanism outlined in the bill, as the signage costs would fall to the District of Columbia government.
