Washington, DC was home to arguably the most creative and influential punk underground of the 1980s and 1990s. Columbia Heights, Adams Morgan, and Mount Pleasant collectively constituted ground zero in this cultural revolution that gave birth to trailblazing bands like Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Nation of Ulysses, Bikini Kill, and Fugazi, and grassroots movements like straight edge, Positive Force, PMA, emo, and Riot Grrrl. Join DC punk activist/historian Mark Andersen for a neighborhood tour of key sites and events in this globally significant slice of DC history.r

This past Labor Day weekend seven local churches participated in our annual Labor in the Pulpit program. DC Jobs with Justice as a part of the Interfaith Worker Justice of Greater Washington has hosted this initiative for the past ten years. Labor in the Pulpit is an opportunity for faith communities to remember God’s call to pursue justice, to honor people’s labor, and to recall the religious traditions that dignify and celebrate work.
