Offering hospitality to the homeless
The Radcliffe Room, a New York Avenue Presbyterian Church program that has been lifting up people who live in the streets and shelters of Washington for decades, is seeking regular volunteers to serve food, distribute clothing and be a friend to 150 or so people who need all three. We are open on Sunday mornings from 8:15 to 9:30, with volunteers arriving to assemble sandwiches and set things up at 7:30. Sure, Radcliffe Room volunteers rise early, but we have bottomless coffee cups, energizing, rewarding work, and a fantastic community of people. And you still have a full day -- and maybe a well-deserved nap -- to look forward to when you're done.
Event Type: Mutual Aid. Host Organization: New York Avenue Presbyterian Church.

One Year Later: Honoring Virginia Roberts Giuffre 🦋
Join us Saturday, 4/25 at 2 PM in Washington, DC for A Butterfly Vigil, a memorial celebrating the life and legacy of Virginia Roberts Giuffre — mother, friend, survivor, hero.
Virginia was the most prominent survivor of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and others, including Jen Luc Brunel and former Prince Andrew. After escaping their violence, she dedicated her life to holding abusers accountable, helping imprison traffickers and end networks across America and Europe. Her bravery led to former Prince Andrew losing his royal titles and his arrest.
Since her passing, millions have shared their stories of survival, healing, and recovery. On April 25th, survivors and their loved ones will come together in the nation’s capital to stand united against sexual violence in all its forms.
Bring flowers, wear a butterfly pin, or light a candle in solidarity.
Host Organization: Women's March.

May Day DC
The Trump regime and its billionaire allies are gutting union jobs in the DC region. They are hunting and killing people in the streets, stripping away our rights, overturning our laws, desecrating our public lands, and working overtime to entrench their own power.
Now, our elections are on the horizon. If we don’t take the reins this regime will move their intimidation from the streets to the polls. It’s time to make it clear we won’t accept anything less than elections that are free and fair, and results that are respected.
On Friday, May 1, 2026, DC refuses to cooperate: No work. No school. No shopping. Get ready, get organized, and join the day of action. Together we’ll make it clear that DC’s workers, our communities, and our political power are worth fighting for — and anyone who comes for those will have to come through us.
The centerpiece of May Day will be a march and rally beginning at the Washington Monument at 12 PM. Led by immigrant workers in solidarity with labor unions and community member…

Offering hospitality to the homeless
The Radcliffe Room, a New York Avenue Presbyterian Church program that has been lifting up people who live in the streets and shelters of Washington for decades, is seeking regular volunteers to serve food, distribute clothing and be a friend to 150 or so people who need all three. We are open on Sunday mornings from 8:15 to 9:30, with volunteers arriving to assemble sandwiches and set things up at 7:30. Sure, Radcliffe Room volunteers rise early, but we have bottomless coffee cups, energizing, rewarding work, and a fantastic community of people. And you still have a full day -- and maybe a well-deserved nap -- to look forward to when you're done.
Event Type: Mutual Aid. Host Organization: New York Avenue Presbyterian Church.
