Conversation
Shalon is hosting our first ever pop-up giving circle to prepare for the 2020 election! We're gathering around the table for a delicious meal prepared by the delightful divas of Wu-Tangy Pickle Company. Each course will feature punchy pickled flavors as we preserve the future by breaking down barriers and learning about organizations that are fighting for political change. Throughout the evening, we'll have the chance to learn more about 2 different organizations and by the end of the night, we'll choose one of the organizations that will receive a donation (which is included in the price of your reservation!)
Can't wait to see you there!
Featured Organizations
Ignite
Since our inception in 2010, we have established powerful evidence that IGNITE’s model builds political ambition in young women. We have also learned that programming is not enough: we need inspiring messages consistently reinforced and reflected in our culture – words which convey and compel young women to be politically motivated, and to declare their political ambition.
It has never been more urgent for young women to own their political power. And there has never been a better time to make that happen. Please join IGNITE as we create a world where women own their fair share of political power.
YIMBY Action
YIMBY Action advocates for welcoming communities where everyone can thrive. We are a network of pro-housing activists fighting for more inclusive housing policies. We drive policy change to increase the supply of housing at all levels and bring down the cost of living in opportunity-rich cities and towns.

What's a giving circle?
A giving circle is a group of friends, family or co-workers who come together to give.
They pool their charitable donations and decide together where to allocate their money.
