  • Volunteer/activism opportunity: New York-based photographer Joe Quint will be in D.C. this Sunday and Monday for his project It Takes Us, which documents the impact of gun violence on survivors, family members, and witnesses. You would help with setup and breakdown, but it’s an awesome opportunity to learn from a pro while helping a worthy cause. No professional experience required, and Joe will feed and water you. Email him at joe@ittakes.us
