SUMMARY:DC Villages Advocacy & Lobbying Workshop
DESCRIPTION:DC Villages Collaborative (DCVC) is hosting its third informative and interactive Advocacy Workshop designed to equip Villages and aging advocates with the tools\, confidence\, and shared language needed to influence policy at a critical moment for aging in the District. This timely Advocacy Workshop is designed to prepare for the 2026 policy and political changes ahead and how they affects our Village network. \nAs our City moves toward the November 2026 elections\, important shifts are on the horizon including changes in DC Council and Mayoral leadership and the implementation of ranked choice voting for the first time in District elections. At the same time\, the District’s annual Spring budget cycle will determine funding priorities for aging services\, DACL support\, housing\, transportation\, and the programs that make aging in community possible. \n\nWhy This Workshop Matters\nVillage leaders and members represent one of the most civically engaged and reliable voting blocs in the District. Understanding how the budget and election systems work empowers our community to advocate with clarity\, credibility\, and one unified voice. \nIn a year of structural changes — new ballots\, leadership turnover\, and shifting priorities – informed engagement is essential. This workshop ensures that DC’s Village movement is prepared\, proactive\, and positioned to protect and advance the interests of older adults across the city. \n\nWho Should Attend\nThis workshop is open to everyone in the DCVC community – not just advocacy committee members. \nYou should attend if you are a: \n\nVillage leader or board member\nStaff person or volunteer\nEngaged Village member\nPartner invested in aging equity in DC\n\nIf you care about strengthening Villages and advancing equity for older adults\, this session is for you! If you cannot attend in person\, the session will be recorded and supporting materials will be distributed via email following the meeting. \n\nWhat You’ll Learn\n\nA clear overview of the DC budget cycle and where Village advocacy can make the greatest impact\nInsight into how the 2026 elections could reshape Council committees\, oversight priorities\, and funding decisions\nAn introduction to ranked choice voting and what it means for senior voters\nGuidance on how Villages can engage consistently and strategically\, not just during hearings and the budget cycle\, but year-round

SUMMARY:DC Villages Kick-Off Celebration
DESCRIPTION:We’re celebrating the launch of DC Villages with a kick-off event that will bring together members\, volunteers\, and ambassadors from Village communities across the District. Join us on Saturday\, September 28th\, as we enjoy an afternoon of great food\, a live jazz band\, and most importantly\, the opportunity to meet and connect with others in our city-wide Village community. Attendees will have the chance to learn more about the initiatives of DC Villages and how the Collaborative is helping to expand options at all stages of aging across the District. \nRSVP for the event via your village or visit https://forms.gle/KXxhjXGjbZJZCD6F9. Registration is now closed. \nThis outdoor event will be held in the parking lot of the Fillmore School Building\, which contains the Georgetown Village office and is located at 1801 34th St. NW\, Washington\, DC 20007. \nWe’ll kick off the celebration with a meet & greet from 12–1 p.m.\, followed by lunch and a DCVC leadership welcome from 1–2 p.m.\, a jazz concert from 2–3 p.m.\, and closing remarks from 3–3:30 p.m. \nThe live jazz band will feature jazz vocalist\, historian\, and native Washingtonian James Zimmerman\, who The Washington Post describes as “a singer who is deeply immersed in vocal jazz tradition. Zimmerman’s vocal fluency lends itself to audacious undertakings on the band stand.” Zimmerman’s répertoire is filled with gems that include the best of jazz standards\, blues\, bebop\, swing\, Broadway musicals\, and bossa nova\, interpreted with feeling including using vocalese and scat improvisation. \nWe look forward to seeing all of you and celebrating our community during this fun-filled afternoon! \nFrequently Asked Questions\n\nHow do I RSVP for the event?\nThis event is open to current DC Villages members\, volunteers\, ambassadors\, and partners.
