Hi there,
Just a little over a week until the GGWash Sweet Sixteen [[link removed]] and we can't wait to celebrate 16 years with you! If you haven't bought your tickets yet, what are you waiting for? It's going to be a blast.
Read on to learn about other upcoming events and ways to get involved this month, including ways to get involved with the 2024 endorsement process and our next happy hour.
Upcoming Events
Celebrate GGWash's Sweet Sixteen [[link removed]]
Tuesday, April 30, 6:00pm-9:00pm
Pearl Street Warehouse, 33 Pearl Street SW, Washington, DC
GGWash turns sixteen this year! But we won’t be getting our driver's license any time soon. Instead, we’re throwing a party to celebrate the work we've done together. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year -- generating about 10 percent of our annual budget. Join us for a great night out and help set the stage for our next 16 years. Tickets include event admission, drinks, and food.
GGWash's Family Friendly Capitol Hill Happy Hour [[link removed]]
Thursday, May 16, 5:30pm-7:30pm
Maketto, 1351 H St NE, Washington, DC
Each month, GGWash picks a local business to host our rotating monthly meet-ups. In May we are headed to Maketto on H St for some community-building on Capitol Hill. Families are welcomed and encouraged to attend. Join us to connect with other folks who think that cities should be for people, not for cars, and who want to see more housing, more affordable housing, and the land-use regulations necessary to support the above—plus, hear what GGWash is working on, and what you can do to get involved. This link [[link removed]] leads to the RSVP page for the Capitol Hill Happy Hour.

This week on Do Something: upzoning in Chevy Chase DC; it’s not just about bike lanes on Connecticut Avenue; how to get safer streets and social housing in Montgomery County; and getting ready for the primary in DC and Virginia.
[[link removed]] GGWash’s process for our 2024 Virginia primary endorsements [[link removed]]
