OPEN is joining DC Polyam in Washington D.C. — come find your people!
This wil be our second year returning to Capital Pride Fest! Join us in the parade and at the booth! Whether you're poly, relationship anarchist, open, or simply curious about what ethical non-monogamy looks like in real life — our booth is a welcoming, judgment-free spot to land.

Non-monogamy and queerness have always shared space — in our values, our chosen families, and our fight to love freely. OPEN exists at that intersection, and Pride is one of our favorite times to gather, connect, and celebrate how far we've come together.

For the OPEN contingent in the DC Pride parade this Saturday, we will meet up in the "staging area" on 15th street somewhere in the 2-block area BETWEEN Q & R STREETS. Please arrive there between 3:30 and 4:00pm.

Look for a brown Honda CRV with OPEN's "Normalize Non-monogamy" banner on the top.

Dupont Circle is the nearest metro but it's also a similar 6 block walk from U St, Farragut North and West stations.

PLEASE come ready to walk in heat about 2.5 miles total: good shoes, hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, water bottle, fanny pack or backpack. Arrive pre-hydrated! We will have some additional water and ice in the SUV for refills.

Last year we had about 30 poly/ENM people for our parade contingent proudly flying the colors for Polyamory and Ethical Non-monogamy for all of the crowd along the parade route. Would LOVE to have more this year! Come out! Bring friends! And let's put non-monogamy prominently out there! This is HOW we actually start to make progress to "Normalize Non-monogamy" by physically showing up and showcasing the message and the cause! Let's do this.
