RSVP HERE
OUT on the Hill Advocacy Day
Make your voice count where it matters most.
Step into the halls of Congress and advocate for the policies our communities need. Connect with lawmakers and committee staff who can advance critical legislation on reparations, education equity, police accountability, voting rights, economic justice, hate crime prevention, ending violence against Black women, and protecting our freedom to learn.
Participate in expert-led policy briefings, then deliver our agenda directly to decision-makers.
Equity Ball at the Historic Howard Theatre
Where culture meets advocacy.
Experience the Afrofuturistic fusion of ballroom culture and civic engagement. Watch legendary houses compete for cash prizes in an unforgettable celebration of Black queer excellence. Between performances, register to vote, connect with advocates, and build community.
This isn’t just a ball—it’s resistance wrapped in joy, brilliance, and unapologetic Black queer power.
