Today! DC Community Wealth Building Day: Cooperative Festival

[Abi Shakur]

Hello! 

We can't wait to see you at our Cooperative Festival today to celebrate the successes and power of the DC Community Wealth Building landscape!

We will meet at Edgewood Community Farm at 2304 2nd St NE, Washington, DC 20002 at 3pm today. 

The farm will be tucked away at the end of an alley, so accessibility is limited. There is SOME street parking, but if you're able please either park 3-4 blocks away (ideally up Lincoln, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th St) and walk to the farm or take the bus or Metro red line to Rhode Island Ave and walk across the footbridge and through the neighborhood (about 12 minutes). If you need to drop someone off who cannot walk up stairs, you can do so in the alley behind 2304 2nd st NE.

Our celebration today will feature tabling from the following groups! We will send more info about them after the event so you can stay connected. Come ready to show so much love and learn from these DC cooperative leaders and their incredible work:

• Bol Cooperative
• Baldwin House Community Collective
• My Senior's Keeper, Inc
• Takoma Park Silver Spring Food Co-op
• Mother's Outreach Network
• Rochdale Capital
• DC Labor Cooperative
• The 51st
• Material Needs Project
  

And huge thanks to ReDelicious for hosting this incredible event and providing food, activities, and games! We will see you soon.

Please let me know if you have any questions,

Abi

So sorry I wasn't able to make it today. I had wanted to attend. It sounds like it was great.

Saturday went really well and I hope we all can keep up the momentum.

Thanks for all you do. All the best, and I look forward to keeping in touch.
