The Family Room is honored to host a conversation with Stacey Abrams—New York Times bestselling author of Lead From The Outside, former Georgia House Democratic Leader, and 2018 Democratic gubernatorial nominee about the importance of fighting voter suppression and ensuring that every American is counted in the 2020 Census.
Following her gubernatorial campaign in 2018, Abrams launched two organizations aimed at empowering Georgians. The first, Fair Fight, is dedicated to ensuring free and fair elections through litigation, legislation, and advocacy. The second, Fair Count, focuses on ensuring that hard to count populations such as people of color and non-English speakers are accurately counted in the Census.
We are grateful that each purchased ticket is a donation* to Metropolitan A.M.E. Church and will help with the preservation of this important, historic institution. It will also support the continued growth of The Family Room conversation series.
About The Family Room
The Family Room is a new conversation series, which marries our past with our future. Hosted at the historic Metropolitan A.M.E. Church in downtown Washington, DC, The Family Room is a familial space where ideas are ignited and healing happens through action-oriented, thought-provoking dialogue.
In case you missed the Concert, on August 3, 2019, PBCCA partnered with Dupont Park Civic Association (DPCA) and Hillcrest Community Civic Association (HCCA) to sponsor the Community Day National Park Service Concert Series.
DC’s very own iconic Go-Go group, Rare Essence, was the featured entertainment, celebrating its 40th Anniversary. Obsession opened for the group.
The concert was well supported by the community and fans from all over the country!

Neighbors,
Have you had a package, shovel or other item stolen from your porch?
If so, join your neighbors and install a doorbell security camera or exterior camera around your house to prevent and/or deter would be thieves from stealing your items.
Help the police identify crime suspects who attack our neighborhood! Invest in a security camera!
Install security cameras, activate monitoring, and provide the police department with access to camera footage after an incident occurs near your residence.
Purchase an external camera(s) for your property and get a rebate from the DC Office of Victim Services and Justice Grants. Funding is still available for rebates! Ward 7 lags behind the rest of the city in taking advantage of the Private Security Camera Incentive Program.
The Program offers a rebate to residents, businesses, nonprofits, and religious institutions who purchase and install security camera systems on their property and register them with the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). The program provides a rebate of up to $200 per camera, with a maximum rebate of up to $500 per residential address (e.g., home offices, condo buildings, and apartments) and $750 for all other eligible addresses. The rebate is exclusively for the cost of the camera(s) including any applicable tax.
You can purchase a very good security camera system or video doorbell camera from Costco, Best Buy or on-line retailer. Click here for more information on the Program.
If you have questions about the rebate or voucher program, please contact the Office of Victim Services and Justice Grants at [email protected] or 202-727-5124.
