AQUA DC AQUA DC participates in a variety of community initiatives involving awareness, advocacy and community building. linktr.ee/aquadc https://linktr.ee/aquadc

We host monthly socials and support group sessions, holiday events, seasonal sports teams, issue-based organizing and more! AQUA is a volunteer organization that focuses on building community for q***r and trans API residents in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) area, which utilizes its location in the nation’s capital to help uplift voices and advocate for social justice issues through an LGBTQ+ and API lens. AQUA strives to incorporate the following values intentionally through our collective actions as an organization to center our Membership: Education, Visibility, Equity & Inclusivity, and Wellbeing. We aim to support our mission by providing opportunities for social and political advocacy, coalition building, cultural exploration, and developmental enrichment. AQUA's goals are to:
• Provide a safe and supportive space for trans and q***r API individuals to discuss the issues impacting their lives.
• Raise the visibility of QAPI people by tackling issues of race in the q***r communities and homophobia in API communities.
• Engage in campaigns that advocate for our communities on issues such as (but not limited to) immigration, sexual racism and trans exclusion. To learn about these events and more, visit our website at https://www.aquadc.org/
