Cafe Mawonaj Is Open
Cafe Mawonaj was created to be a central meeting place for students, activists, artists and community members – a place where all can come together to eat good food, discuss politics, watch films or just hang out.
The cafe is a democratically run workers' cooperative of people committed to progressive social change. "Mawonaj" is a Haitian word that denotes the process of removing oneself from the bonds of slavery. The cooperative plans to dedicate a significant portion of its profits to funding social and educational programs and will make the cafe available to various activist groups for use as a meeting and event space. Visit Cafe Mawonaj at 624 T St. NW, right next to the Howard Theater.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
