Worker-members of ROC-DC, a collective that organizes workers in bars and restaurants across DC and played a pivotal role in the defense of Initiative 82, voted last year to change their name to the Restaurant Organizing Collective. This new name, now in effect, is an affirmation of what has always been true: ROC’s commitment to organizing, building, and sharing the power of DC’s restaurant workers. To commemorate the name change and raise funds for their efforts, ROC will be holding a fundraiser on Wednesday, May 20 at 5pm at the Adams Morgan Festival Center, replete with food, music, and dancing.
