Sunrise DC Newsletter: July 13, 2021

Hey John!

We're back with some updates... and more ways for you to plug in!

On July 4th, Sunrise DC and partners hosted the second of the abolition workshops , titled “Fourth of You Lie” -- we learned about US imperialism, discussed why we don't celebrate “independence day”, and raised $67 in cash for the Line 3 water protectors in Minnesota! Look out for our next workshop on the 18th!

Sunrise DC recently dropped our new principles! These are principles that, as a hub, we will bear in mind and act on as we proceed in our work. Check them out on our website here! [[link removed]]

Last week, a coalition of mutual aid groups, ANCs, and Sunrise DC [[link removed]] came together to stop the eviction of an encampment in Ward 2. You can learn more about the organizing effort and residents impacted here [[link removed]] . If you are able, we encourage you to donate to Remora House [[link removed]] , Ward 2 mutual aid [[link removed]] , or your own Ward mutual aid group (1 [[link removed]] , 3 [[link removed]] , 4 [[link removed]] , 5 [[link removed]] , 6 [[link removed]] , East of the River [[link removed]] ), and stay tuned for more updates!

When we work together, we win.
