Events & Community Engagement
This campaign is moving — fast — and every event is a chance to step into the momentum. Across all eight wards, we’re bringing neighbors together, sparking conversations, and building the kind of collective energy that drives real change.
From community forums to neighborhood walks, volunteer rallies to policy deep‑dives, each gathering is designed to connect people, elevate voices, and turn shared purpose into action. I’m out in the community every day because leadership means showing up — listening, learning, and standing with the people we serve.
Scroll through the events below, jump in where you feel called, and add your voice to a movement that’s growing stronger by the day. The future of our city is being shaped right now — and your presence matters.
Black History Month Political Forum

2026 Black History Month Political Forum
A Defining Moment for DC’s Future
At a time when the future of Washington, DC demands bold leadership, informed voters, and collective action, the National Pan-Hellenic Council of Washington, DC (DCNPHC)—in partnership with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)—and DC Action invites the public to take part in the 2026 Black History Month Political Forum.
Moderated by Phylicia Ashley of ABC News, this forum will bring together candidates seeking to lead the District of Columbia and provide residents with a rare and meaningful opportunity to hear directly from those who aspire to shape DC’s future. Rooted in the legacy of Black civic engagement, advocacy, and leadership, this gathering is both a reflection of history and a call to action.

This forum is an invitation to engage, to listen, to question, and to participate in the democratic process that continues to define and strengthen our city.
