The Baltimore Light Rail does NOT go to DC.
From Baltimore, you need to pick up the commuter train from Camden Station (near Stadiums) to go to DC Union Station. Union Station is near Capital 1st street. walk west to 16th street and the Elipse behind the White House where the event on 6th is being held.
Bathrooms are difficult. Take a plastic bottle to use discretely behind a tree and under a long coat. Empty it in a gutter drain . . . Or on any BLM mural you see.
Here’s a good source of info for the various rallies going on on Jan. 5 and 6...

There’s an app for that.
About halfway down you’ll see “Public Safety Updates”. That’s where they start talking about the road closures around the Mall, and telling Washingtonians to stay away from the area because of people ‘looking for confrontation’.
There’s 2 different events on Jan.6, both in the Mall area. https://marchtosaveamerica.com/ One is at the Ellipse in front of the White House (opens at 7, starts at 9) and then it moves to the US Capitol from 1-5.
Go wherever you want - just tell folks you are “homeless’.
No toilets needed, eh?
Oh, and probably want to bring snacks/drinks. Mayor isn’t allowing any street parking within a couple of blocks of the Mall in any direction.
If you’re going to the Capitol, get off the Metro at Capitol South. If you’re going to the White House, get off at Farragut West. Other Metro stops near the mall are Federal Triangle, Smithsonian, L’Enfant Plaza and Metro Center.
ROFL Baltimore light rail goes to BWI, southern,ost point. That’s not near DC.
Unless, you wish to get to a MARC train station that’ll take you down to Union Station in DC.
But, IIRC I’m pretty sure there is no overlay of light rail and MARC lines.
Here’s a link to a map of the DC Metro system (for trains), but they also have busses.

Call your local Republican committee to get on their bus going to DC. One Republican group in a town near me has 7 busses going.
