On June 14, this president wants all of us to celebrate his agenda of war and destruction. We refuse to do this.
Instead, on June 14 we’re choosing to celebrate DC’s people, culture, and our connections to one another. Join us at DC Joy Day for an afternoon and evening of connection and community power.
