On Aug. 28, we return to Washington, D.C. not only to remember history, but to make it. Join us for the #MarchOnWashington as we stand together to defend voting rights and continue the work of building the Beloved Community.

Calling all drum majors for justice! Join us for the #MarchOnWashington on Aug. 28 in Washington, D.C. As voting rights continue to face attacks, we're coming together to honor the past, confront the present, and organize for the future. The dream didn't end in 1963, and neither did the work.

The Beloved Community cannot be built in silos. Our struggles are interconnected, and so is our future. Through partnership with @mifamiliavota.bsky.social and Drum Major Institute, we're building the collective power needed to advance policies rooted in justice, equity, and opportunity for all.

Oppression has never happened by accident. It has often been written into laws, policies, and systems. If we're serious about protecting democracy, we have to understand how we got here.
