EXPLORE WASHINGTON, DC STORIES
Our nation’s capital Washington, DC is a historic stronghold of feminist, civil rights activism throughout the 20th century. It has also been the epicenter of local-national grassroots movements for social equality and community empowerment, birthing George Wiley’s Poverty/Rights Action Center and the leadership of Barry Farm’s Etta Horn and many others. OSOJ is working with partners to shed light on these legacies of activism and their connection to ongoing advocacy for basic dignity and economic justice.
