The White House Peace Vigil, a nearly 44-year anti-nuclear protest in Lafayette Park, was dismantled on September 19, 2025, after federal officials enforced park regulations.
Originally established in 1981 by activist William Thomas, the vigil symbolized nonviolent resistance and nuclear disarmament, drawing sustained attention through signs, prayers, and continuous picketing.
Despite efforts to comply with rules, federal authorities removed structures and materials, citing safety and permit violations.
The action, prompted by a National Park Service warning and reportedly influenced by a presidential directive, marks the end of the longest-running political demonstration in U.S. history, highlighting tensions between enduring activism and federal oversight of public spaces.
