One Year of Hope and the Dreams We Built

Join us for an inspiring celebration featuring powerful speakers, mouthwatering Caribbean cuisine from a local Black-owned business in our Anacostia village, and a vibrant gathering rooted in community, resilience, and possibility.

In a time when federal intrusion looms over D.C., we choose joy. We decide to celebrate the hope that is real, the progress we’ve made, and the dreams we continue to build—for our children, our future, our tomorrow. Let the glass clink, let the laughter rise, and let this moment remind us that economic justice is power—and our children deserve it now more than ever.
