The Five Year Anniversary of Stop Street Harassment activities/announcements continue!
If you’re in the Washington, D.C. area, I hope you can attend our fundraiser happy hour and awards ceremony on June 5, from 5-9 p.m. at Vinoteca.
(And if you’re not local or if you can’t attend, you can still support us through a tax-deductible donation and/or by bidding on an item during our online auction this week.)
This is a great opportunity to not only support the work of SSH and celebrate our five years of activism, but it is also a wonderful chance to meet some of the SSH board members and volunteers and to mingle with the AMAZING DC-area community members and groups with whom we work.
At 5:30 p.m., there will be an awards ceremony to honor public officials and community members who work to make the Washington-D.C. area safer.
Additionally, there will be a raffle, happy hour specials, street harassment art, SSH swag, and books for sale.
