ONE DC invites you to engage with us in a conversation and community learning process about displacement and resistance in DC, and how we organize for equitable development.

ONE DC will show you the physical side of gentrification in the Shaw neighborhood and discuss its effects on the community, along with stories of how ONE DC organizes with residents to stand up for community-led, equitable development. Participants will have the opportunity to raise and discuss questions together, as well as tie learned experience to the Shaw story and context. We will explore the interconnectedness of the right to housing, the right to income, and the right to wellness.

Participants will walk a little less than 1 mile total. Depending on questions and reflections, tour lasts about 2 hours. For this tour, we are requesting a free-will donation on a sliding scale of $10 to $25. You can bring a cash or check on the day of the tour, make a donation by clicking here, or by making a payment on Venmo @ONEDC. This contribution goes toward supporting the work of ONE DC, including the Right to Housing Committee, the Black Workers & Wellness Center, and the People's Platform.

ONE DC is a grassroots community organizing group that builds power with working class people of color in DC for our rights to housing, income, and wellness. In order to build successful and powerful campaigns and programs, we also need people who act as the "glue" of the organization -- who hold us together and move things behind-the-scene.

Are you the kind of person who...

• Organizes your family reunions and holiday dinners?
• Thinks creatively about how to raise money and save money?
• Knows everybody and their mama?
• Gets excited about spreadsheets?
• Can't stop liking, tagging, & sharing?

if you answered yes to any of these, then Admin & Member Engagement is the place for you!

Admin & Member Engagement is a member-based committee that falls under ONE DC's Admin & Organizational Management Committee. This committee is made up of ONE DC members, staff, and new volunteers, and is responsible for organizing administrative support for the organization as a whole, such as our communications, website, social media, grassroots fundraising, event logistical support, and other needs for ONE DC organizing campaigns and programs. It is a space where ONE DC members and supporters, both new and long-time, can learn more about ONE DC, find out what’s upcoming, and engage in the real, everyday work of the organization.

We meet on the last Tuesday of each month at 6:00 PM. Food is served and all ages are welcome!
