Interested in a special night of wine, entertainment, and support for a critical cause? Join the DC Abortion Fund and Grand Cata for a unique fundraiser supporting abortion access in both the DMV and nationwide! The DC Abortion Fund (DCAF) first started operating in 1995, with the mission of breaking down economic barriers for abortion seekers in the area. With numerous examples of anti-abortion legislation being passed across the United States, your support is crucial towards maintaining access for those in need of care.

On October 23rd, we’ll be collaborating with the DC Abortion Fund for an incredible one-off event: fundraiser attendees will be able to sip over a dozen special wines made by women winemakers, purchase tickets for some amazing raffle prizes, and learn more about the history and mission of the DC Abortion Fund from their staff.

This event is from 6PM to 9PM on October 23rd, 2025 in our Shaw Flagship. Tickets are $40 per person and $15 from every ticket sold will go directly to the DC Abortion Fund. We’re expecting a big crowd, so we’d recommend arriving early!

Unable to attend but still wish to support DCAF? You can donate directly to them with this link: https://secure.everyaction.com/aJJmFWffI0qBdTeNrmn7jg2. In 2024, DCAF, on average, gave $529 towards the cost of a patient’s care - so every little bit helps!

We are so excited to work with the DC Abortion Fund on what is shaping up to be a very special event, and we hope to see you there!

Event Details:

In this definitive, eye-opening history, award-winning author Rebecca Grant charts the reproductive freedom movement from the days before Roe through the seismic impact of Dobbs. The stories in Access span four continents, tracing strategies across generations and borders. Grant centers those activists who have been engaged in direct action to help people get the abortions they need. Their efforts involve no small measure of daring-do, spy craft, sea adventures, close calls, undercover operations, smuggling, sequins, legal dramas, victories, defeats, and above all, a deeply held conviction that all the risks are worth it for the cause.

Read more about the book here.

This event is free with first come, first served seating.

To request accommodations for this event or to inquire about accessibility please email events@politics-prose.com ideally one week in advance of the event date. We will make an effort to accommodate all requests up until the time of the event.

DC Abortion Fund & Burger Sound present: My Body My Festival

DCAF and Burger Sounds are excited to announce Day 2 of My Body My Festival 2025: Rage to Survive, featuring Alex Vaughn, Carly Harvey, Taisha Estrada and Be Steadwell! As always, ticket proceeds go directly to the DC Abortion Fund!

Rage to Survive responds to the realities of organizing for abortion access, liberation, and community safety under a second Trump administration. While DC has always survived through the whiplash of political administrations, we know 2025 will bring unprecedented challenges to the DC community, as well as the national abortion access landscape. My Body My Festival 2025 will couple anger with our signature joy, treating rage as a tool for catharsis and change under a hostile government. We intend to rejuvenate our community, refill our activist cups, strengthen and sharpen our rage toward the systems and individuals which harm us, and build enough power to threaten and drive out the fascists among us. This year’s festival will treat rage as a place of safety and power our community can always return to, and imbue plenty of DC love and anti-capitalist messaging along the way.
