Hey everyone, the DC Dyke March is an organization built on grassroots queer activism and protest, the ‘Dyke March’ is a global movement led by self-identifying dykes, it’s first march ever was held in DC.
This year their theme is “Dykes Against Displacement” and they are raising money for queer people impacted by housing displacement. Queer people are much more vulnerable to being left homeless or with no reliable place to stay, making them susceptible to violence and harm.
The Dyke March is raising money for organizations including One DCandNo Justice No Pride. This issue is of growing concern as DC “has the highest rate of gentrification out of any city in the US. Prices are going up, while the current supply of affordable housing isn’t keeping up with the need.”
Black and Indigenous trans people are the most at risk for housing displacement, which can lead to a number of emotional traumas and physical dangers. This is the main issue the Dyke March is rallying against.
Their goal is to raise $5,000 dollars
Right now they have raised $2,000 and need $3,000 more! Please consider donating, even a dollar helps!
