Additionally, the audiovisual artist group sosolimited will be showing a custom video presentation on-site.

“We’re thrilled to be hosting a 1-year anniversary Choose GOOD event in a city with such a heritage of social action and political engagement,” said Ben Goldhirsh, GOOD’s owner and founder. “Washington’s diverse population of passionate and involved citizens perfectly reflects the GOOD sensibility. We are excited to continue growing and fostering the GOOD community in DC.”

As part of GOOD’s innovative subscription strategy, all subscriber revenue will be donated to the charity organization of the subscriber’s choice, which they can select from the list of GOOD’s 12 charity partners.
