On May 7, 2026, we’re holding our annual Read to Rise event to celebrate the achievements of our teen tutors.
From a press release:
“On November 3, 2020, Election Day, Bartenders Against Racism (BAR) will provide water and other supplies to people waiting in line to vote as part of their #HYDRATETHEVOTE initiative. Expecting record numbers of people at the polls, BAR is building on its successful “supplytending” program that provided necessities for peaceful protestors at most DC-based demonstrations this past summer. The organization is calling for volunteers to give out supplies at polling stations and for donations to support efforts.
“This may be the most important election in our lifetimes – especially for people of color like me. And we believe that everyone should be able to exercise their right to vote,” said Allison Lane, president of Bartenders Against Racism. “We should celebrate voting, not suffer through it. We’ve got voter’s backs this year.”
BAR is calling on everyone to help by volunteering to “adopt” a polling location in Washington, DC, Northern Virginia and Montgomery and Prince Geroge’s counties to distribute water, snacks and other supplies to voters waiting in line. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I reserved parking for a moving truck in front of a house I’m moving into through the DC TOPS system about two weeks ago for a move later this week. Two weeks ago, there was regular 2 hour limit residents excepted zone parking on both sides of the street. I walked back by the house yesterday, and now there’s only parking on the opposite side of the street except on Thursdays when you can park in front of my house (presumably for street cleaning). Do I even need to print and post the signs now? Is it legal for a moving truck to park there on a Friday? Can I use the signs for the opposite side of the street?”
Ed. Note: Good news, sorta, since we’re still only in phase two, these opposite side of the street parking signs don’t apply since street sweeping is still suspended.
