Description:

The Alliance Summer Showcase gathers DC’s young change agents and gives them a venue to voice and share what they are doing to make their city, country, and the world a better place. Join us on July 18 for an evening where we can put aside our talking points, celebrate, and walk away inspired.

Since November 2016, conversations and debates about the state of the country have echoed through airwaves, households, and workspaces. In a rare moment of galvanization, previously apolitical individuals have been inspired to fervently and loudly share their opinions and demand action. But is all of this just noise, or are people actually taking action? And what, in this day and age, does action look like… a Facebook post, a protest sign, an art piece?
