19] – On Wed., Jan. 25 from 1to 2 PM ET, catch Heather
White's WATERtalk, "Queer Activism and the Christian Right: The
Surprising Story of Their Shared History," 8121 Georgia Ave., Suite 310,
Silver Spring 20910. Call 301-589-2509. WATER stands for

White is Visiting Assistant Professor in Religion and Queer studies at the
University of Puget Sound. She received her MDiv from Princeton Theological
Seminary and PhD from Princeton University. Dr. White is a specialist in
American Religions with a research focus on sexuality, gender, and twentieth
century social movements.
Her first book, Reforming Sodom: Protestants and the Rise of
Gay Rights has been featured in Huffington Post, Religion and
Politics, the L.A. Review of Books, and Religion Dispatches, and it
was listed in the top ten “best LGBT nonfiction of 2015” by the Bay Area
Reporter. With a focus on Protestants, liberals, and mid-twentieth century gay
activism, this book challenges the usual picture of perennial adversaries and
presents a new narrative about America’s religious and sexual past.

21] – The
Petworth-16th St. Heights Neighborhood Assembly will take place at the Petworth
Library, 4200 Kansas Ave. NW, WDC 20011, on Wed., Jan. 25 from
6 to 9 PM. The Petworth neighborhood assembly is a group of
neighbors from Petworth and 16th Street Heights trying to bring their fellow
neighbors together to build a stronger community and fight the challenges of
the future together. From deportation defense, to worker rights to
gentrification, they’re hoping to bring folks together to take a political
stand through mutual aid and solidarity. This is meant as a first meeting where
they will talk about what’s happening (since before and after the election),
how people are feeling about the new administration, and where/how to direct
that energy. If you have been working on these or other community issues
before, or if this is your first time, come and join them! See https://www.facebook.com/events/335137610193780/.
