Diversity Matters is excited to support Sister District DC/VA/MD, State Bridges partners in Pennsylvania and the Woman's National Democratic Club for a walk across the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge (Washington, DC) on Sunday, April 14. We are activating our volunteers across the country to raise money for two organizations in Pennsylvania, a key swing state in 2024: Pennsylvania Stands Up and Pennsylvania United.

The walk will end at All Purpose Pizza, where we will celebrate our phenomenal feat with cocktails and comestibles.  All Purpose is located in the Navy Yards, just a short distance from the bridge.

Our crossing will begin at 11 am, rain or shine, at the southeast corner of the bridge in Anacostia.  We will meet in the grassy area at the foot of the bridge.  (More information here.)

Bring a bottle of water, comfortable shoes, AND your friends, and we will see you on April 14.

Pennsylvania Stands Up is a statewide organization made up of dues-paying members dedicated to winning a Pennsylvania that works for everyone. They organize for power across race, place, and generation.

Pennsylvania United is a grassroots organization with member-led chapters that build power for working-class families in Western PA. They develop long-term organizing relationships that reconnect working-class people to power, building a multi-racial working-class movement for statewide change.

Your contribution will help to build democracy from the ground up and ensure that everyone, no matter who they are, has a voice.
