“Wednesday, Feb. 1st
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport
6 PM – 8 PM
On Friday, President Trump signed an executive order closing the nation’s borders to refugees and citizens of 7 predominantly Muslim countries: Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, and Somalia. As a result, refugees and visa-holding migrants have been detained at several airports, including JFK and SFO. The order has since been stayed, but the fight is far from over.
Join us for a rally at Reagan National Airport to demand the release of all those detained and to tell President Trump that we stand with refugees. We will not be afraid to call this what it is: Islamophobia. We will not look away and we will not be silent. If the administration wants to make airports places of oppression, we will make them places of resistance. All of them.
Speakers will include:
Firas Nasr, WERK for Peace
Alli McCracken, DC for Palestine
Lillyanne Daigle, DisruptJ20
Yvana Petros & Grant Smith, No Lost Generation GWU
Carolyn Karcher, Jewish Voice for Peace
Becca AbuRakia-Einhorn, IfNotNow
Ramah Kudaimi, DC Justice for Muslims Coalition
Jeffrey Moy, Japanese American Citizens League (JACL)
Rev. Graylan Hagler, Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ
Raed Jarrar, American Friends Service Committee
Maha Hilal, National Coalition To Protect Civil Freedoms (NCPCF)
Darakshan Raja, Washington Peace Center & Muslim American Women’s Policy Forum”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
