Yalla Connect-DC is back and the timing couldn't be more right. For many of us the past few months have been intense, between organizing our communities to protest the inhumane policies inflicted upon Gaza, to reorienting ourselves to a new Administration, and for some of us to hibernate during the winter. But now with the spring sunshine reflecting on our faces its time to come out in full force--to see one another, to dance, and network.
Come out on Thursday May 14th to a new YCDC spot--Club Suite--to feature our very own American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) who are working hard on preparing their annual convention this year which promises to be an inspirational affair. The early networker will be an opportunity to meet the new faces behind a rejuvenated ADC-DC chapter that's making some good noise around town, and gives you an opportunity to get involved
