What We’re Raising Money For
Metro
DC DSA’s Abolition Working Group is hosting our 2nd Annual Free
Backpack Distribution on Saturday, August 9th. We’ll distribute backpacks
filled with school supplies to ALL students - no questions asked, no
barriers.
Your support will directly purchase backpacks and essential school
supplies (notebooks, pencils, crayons, glue, etc.) for students in our
community.
Why This Matters
Many
families struggle to afford basic school supplies. This fundraiser
embodies our commitment to community care and mutual aid. Every dollar
raised goes straight to purchasing supplies for students. This is what
it looks like to invest in kids, not cops.
What to Expect
Drinks & Community: Support local business while supporting our cause
Raffle & Prizes: Win amazing prizes while supporting students
Community Connection: Meet fellow organizers and community members
