Celebrate the Mt. Pleasant community and stop by our table to learn about supporting local abortion access!

Fossil Free Festival is a celebration of organizations that envision a Fossil Free GW and are fighting for a better future.

Join us in a day of solidarity with the people of Palestine, featuring offerings from friends and local artists highlighting Palestinian art, culture, resilience, and resistance. DCAF will be there selling our “Movement is Borderless” merch—new and old—to benefit Palestinian mutual aid efforts, as well as handing out free resources and information about abortion funding in DC!

This fundraiser event is an all day festival divided into daytime and evening activities. During the day from 1-6pm we'll be hosting a Pop-Up Market on the porch and into the yard. Inside, we'll have workshops and classes like yoga and DANCEmandala. In the evening, we invite you for an Iftar ritual and dinner ahead of our evening show featuring Ahmad Damen, a classically trained Palestinian oud player. Come for just some or register for all activities throughout the day- find specific event details below!

All funds raised will be donated to Gaza relief efforts through direct mutual aid efforts better able to mobilize given current restrictions and difficult conditions on the ground. RSVP here!

Join our friends at Harriett’s Dreams and folks all over the DMV area at Union Station to call for CEASEFIRE NOW!

A forum to discuss the harms of the Roe framework and explore how the adoption of an abolitionist framework for abortion rights is the only pathway forward to secure reproductive justice. Hosted by American University’s Center on Health, Risk and Society (CHRS) and the Antiracism Research and Policy Center (ARPC).

January 22nd is the anniversary of the Roe v Wade decision which recognized a limited constitutional right to abortion and prohibited states from fully banning access to care. On June 24, 2022, that decision was reversed in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (Dobbs) and since then, many states have moved to further limit some or all abortions. But banning abortion is not popular with the general public and already voters in three states, Kansas, Ohio, and Michigan, have passed ballot referendums restoring the right to abortion as protected under Roe. While many people are benefiting from sustained access to abortion care, the reaffirmation of the Roe legal standard fails to address the fundamental inequities re-entrenched by that standard.

Join HWD at their Black Queer Feminism 101 training to learn basic gender terminology and discuss political frameworks of LGBTQ+ communities ♀️⚧️🌈.

Anti-freedom politicians want to control us and deny us our rights: to decide if and when we grow our families, to choose who we love, and marry. We demand our elected leaders keep government regulations out of our bodies and bedrooms. It's time to reverse abortion bans and expand access to reproductive healthcare. Let our local and state legislators focus on passing laws that empower, not control, the people.♀️⚧️
