DCAF Holiday Party
Join us on Thursday, December 10 for everyone's favorite holiday party! This year's theme is Fetch the Bolt Cutters, named after the liberatory call from Fiona Apple's 2020 perfectly titled album & song.
Fiona said the phrase “fetch the bolt cutters” is asking us to fetch our tool of liberation and set ourselves free. This felt incredibly accurate to the current mood in our beloved DC, a city under a continual illegal occupation, surrounded by constant reminders of our fascist government. But instead of retreating into ourselves, we've seen this city continue to fight for our statehood, our autonomy, our neighbors, and our future. That feels very Fiona to us!
And now that DCAF is 31, we're a little older, a little wiser, a little angrier, but just as much fun. So join us for a more grown up holiday party where we plan our paths to liberation.
Psst…every sponsor and ticket level is inspired by a Fiona Apple lyric–can you name the song?

Taking it to the Max
Friends and family of Max Kamin-Cross have teamed up with the DC Abortion Fund (DCAF) again this year for “Taking it to the Max," a fundraiser for DCAF and a loving tribute to Max. Max was a force in the DC community and a major advocate for progressive causes, including abortion access, throughout his life.
Funding abortion is a tangible way to make a difference in this moment and as we know all too well, the need for abortion funding never stops. So let’s reject that feeling of hopelessness and gather for an evening of music and community!
Join us on Friday, April 24 at Songbyrd Music House to celebrate Max and raise funds for DCAF. We’ll have custom cocktails, local bands including After the Party and ViRG, and the return of the best silent auction in the DC region, full of items from our favorite local businesses.
