Upcoming Events
Orchard Fest 2026
In the spirit of resilience and community, we invite you to join us for Orchard Fest—an autumn-inspired outdoor gathering that celebrates the people, progress, and shared purpose that define DC Appleseed. It will be an evening to reconnect, reflect, and uplift one another in the face of today’s challenges. This gathering offers a relaxed, seasonal counterpart to our annual flagship event, The Gershon Ratner Reception, held each spring.
DC Appleseed Presents: A Screening of The Last Battlefront
Join DC Appleseed’s Emerging Leaders Network for a screening of The Last Battlefront: Quest for the Vote in Washington, D.C., a documentary exploring the centuries-long fight for representation and self-government in the District. Through personal stories and four pivotal moments from 1783 to today, the film brings D.C.’s history to life and examines the events that have shaped the District’s ongoing pursuit of equal representation.
Following the screening, a panel discussion with advocates and scholars will explore the District’s history and the challenges facing D.C. residents today. The evening will also be a chance to connect with DC Appleseed board members, partners, and friends and celebrate the ongoing work to advance D.C. autonomy.
Thank you to our partners, the League of Women Voters of the District of Columbia and Steptoe LLP, for helping make this event possible.
