Happenings
August 15th – August 22nd, 2018
Hello friends!! Join us every Wednesday for the events not to miss in the coming weeks. While our google calendar is great, sometimes events can get lost in the sauce. So here are some events we are excited for in the coming week!!
Grrrls* Night
Who: Grrrls* Night
What: Grrrls* Night is a space for women, trans comrades of all genders, and femmes to come together and talk socialism — or just be social. New members and DSA-curious Grrrls*, come say hi and connect with us!
We love Wunder Garten for its accessibility, full bar if you’re not a beer drinker (and no-pressure vibe if you’re not a drinker, period), kid- and dog-friendly policies, and tons of lawn games. We’ll have materials and instructions for making red rose pins, and welcome any other crafty/creative ideas (buttons? zines?) folks would like to bring and share. We’ll also be passing the can to raise a few bucks to support any comrades who may have legal needs coming out of the citywide anti-fascist action earlier in the week.
BONUS for those who get tuckered out by too much socializing but still want to pop by: there’s a free outdo…
Where: Wunder Garten, 1101 First St NE, Washington, DC 20002, USA
