Hi there,
As your friendly local GGWash engagement intern, I'm excited to share several engaging, local events coming up this month! Attend our upcoming webinar that connects the dots between school boundaries and housing, join neighbors for an afternoon happy hour, and more—and don't miss our Fall Mixer on September 28.
Upcoming Events!
Meet friends and neighbors at this month's Ward 1.5 happy hour in DC [[link removed]]
Sunday, September 11, 3:00 PM
Civic engagement can be both rewarding and frustrating, but it should never be lonely. If you're looking to connect with other folks--especially in Wards 1 and 2--who think neighbors are nicer than neighborhood character and that cities should be for people, not for cars, come out to this month's happy hour at Exiles!
Webinar: How DC’s school boundaries shape housing and travel patterns [[link removed]]
Tuesday, September 20, 6:00 PM
School boundaries and feeder patterns not only shape the lives of children, they affect housing, travel patterns, and can contribute to citywide segregation. Building on an ongoing GGWash series by journalist Abigail Higgins, venture behind the headlines for a virtual conversation with local experts on what school boundaries and feeder patterns are, and how they shape our lives.
