From ShutDownDC:

“In response to Trump’s victory, claiming that he would go to the Supreme Court to stop the vote count, ShutDownDC will deploy demonstrations today to “shut down the attack on democracy.”

What: Demonstrations will deploy in downtown DC in response to Trump’s premature declaration of victory

When: November 4, 2020 at 11AM

Where: Union Station, Fountain at Columbus Circle
50 Massachusetts Avenue NE, Washington, DC, 20002

Who:

ShutDownDC, in conjunction with over 10 other organizations, including 350 DC, Arm in Arm DC, Beautiful Trouble, Black Lives Matter DC, CASA in Action, Continue to Serve, Democratic Socialists of America DMV, Extinction Rebellion DC, Long Live GoGo, The Palm Collective, Rising Tide North America, Spaces in Action, and Sunrise Movement DC

Why: In a desperate last attempt to cinch the election, Trump has prematurely declared victory and promised to use the Republican majority in the Supreme Court to stop votes from being counted, building on mounting examples of Republican attempts to stop vote counting in recent weeks. The moving protest will focus on the organizations and institutions that have aided and abetted Trump’s attack on democracy.”

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!
