For Juneteenth, we share the plate for the African American Civil War Memorial Museum, founded in 1999, which shares the largely unknown stories of the US Colored Troops who fought for freedom. The Museum aims to serve as an educational resource for its local, national, and international community.
Advocates for Trans Equality, a trans-led organization whose policy experts, litigators, and community organizers work at all levels of government to ensure trans voices are not only heard, but embraced in rooms where they've long been ignored. They help the trans community navigate the realities of law and policy through vital tools, knowledge, and services.
In honor of our musical guests on June 1, 2025, we shared the plate with the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, DC. Since 1981, they have been singing to inspire equality and inclusion with musical performances and education promoting justice and dignity for all. In February, the Kennedy Center cancelled the performance they had scheduled as part of WorldPride DC. We’re grateful to welcome one of their ensembles today, and encourage you to give as generously as you can to support this voice of LGBTQ equality.
