A Fundraiser for Baldwin House Cooperative and Mutual Aid Hub

Baldwin House, an affordable housing coop and mutual aid hub is urgently paying off its bank loan. A portion of bar sales and ticket proceeds will be donated to the Cooperative. Join us in investing in affordable housing and community spaces by donating here.

In a time of rapidly increasing rent and displacement of DC’s longstanding communities, Baldwin House is reclaiming the place of Black and brown working-class Washingtonians. Born out of Ward 1 Mutual Aid, the community experimented with a new model of affordable housing: can neighbors replace developers and investors and back tenants to buy an apartment building? And they did! For two years, neighbors organized —successfully —to purchase the building, investing in long-term affordable housing and community space in a neighborhood that has experienced years of displacement. Learn more here. 

Death Promise: “Among the American offerings from the 1970s martial arts movie craze, few can compete with the insane giddiness of DEATH PROMISE.” — Nathaniel Thompson, MONDO DIGITAL

A genre-blending grindhouse classic perfectly embodying the mid-1970s NYC genre film aesthetic, DEATH PROMISE oozes sublime sleaze and wild fight moves from beginning to end. The residents of a dilapidated New York tenement are harassed and threatened by dummy corporation Iguana Realty, in an effort to force them out of their homes. When karate master Charley’s father is murdered by the landlords’ hired thugs, he develops a vengeful plan to murder every last Iguana board member!
