Description:

Please join us for a Toast and Reunion at the flagship location of Busboys and Poets, at 14th & V streets NW, as we celebrate two decades of advocating, educating, mobilizing and organizing for DC STATEHOOD! FREE DC NOW!

From the Desk of U.S. Senator Michael D. Brown

For 20 years, Anise Jenkins and the Stand Up! (Free DC) activists have worked hard to bring democracy and equality to the residents of the District of Columbia through statehood. Please join us as we celebrate this milestone, thank Anise and friends and look toward the future in our struggle for democracy. 

Message from Anise Jenkins

This will be a monumental day, as we pause to celebrate our work for DC statehood and honor the activists, s/heroes and "souljahs" who have come before us and have since crossed over – and those of us still in the fight! Let's reunite and toast our movement's progress!


FREE DC ~ Statehood Now!
