Abolition 2nd Annual Free Backpack Drive Distribution
Start: Saturday, August 09, 2025•10:00 AM
End: Saturday, August 09, 2025•02:00 PM
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.
How You Can Help
- Attend the fundraiser on July 23rd
- Bring friends - the more people, the more we can raise
- Help us poster to raise awareness for the event
- Donate online at our GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-mdcdsa-get-300-kids-backpacks?lang=en_US
Spread the word about both events!
RSVPs are appreciated but not required! Don’t let that stop you from coming out to support our community’s students.
