Whatās your favorite talking piece? One of the ways we help make sure everyone has a chance to share in a group setting is by using a talking piece - an object to indicate whose turn it is to speak. Rooted in indigenous practice, itās a great way to āpassā along the mic so that everyone has a chance to engage.

Are you down to host?ā ā Every year, Center DC runs the DC Iftar League - a peer-led initiative that makes it so no one has to break fast alone during RamadÄn.

Currently, we're looking for hosts every night of the week - but specifically on Fridays!
