Inauguration & Women's March activities in DC?

January 16, 2017 4:06 PM

Heading to DC this weekend with some friends for the inauguration and the Women's March. We're lefties and would love to plug into activities either on Friday or Saturday night.

We've heard about the (sold out) Anti-Inauguration hosted by Jacobin, Verso, and Haymarket on Friday night. And the Anti-Ball on Saturday night.

But what else is going on? Events? Gatherings? Vigils? Happenings?

Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

The Woman's National Democratic Club in Dupont Circle is the hub (the "state" organizing arm) of the Women's March on Washington. We have organized four days of programming leading up to the March, beginning Wednesday night with a welcome reception for members of Congress. See below for details.

There's a fun anti-fascist concert at the Black Cat on Friday night -- lots of great bands, national and local. It's also a benefit for some wonderful local organizations: Casa Ruby and ONE DC.

Black Cat is also hosting a Solidarity Cabaret benefit for CASS.
