  • Mission

    For over 31 years, through litigation, teamwork, and advocacy, DC Appleseed has helped make the District of Columbia a better place to live and work. Throughout our history, we have taken on some of the District’s toughest problems, developed proposed solutions to those problems, and then worked to get our proposed solutions adopted and implemented. All of our projects emphasize three key values: democracy, economic mobility, and racial equity.

    About Us

    We are independent, non-partisan, and objective. We do not come to any issue with an agenda or predetermined viewpoint and we take a position on an issue only after thoroughly researching it from all sides – with this approach, we meet our goal of finding the best possible solutions for all who live and work in the District. As a 501(c)(3) organization, DC Appleseed is empowered by the thousands of hours of pro bono time donated by our volunteer attorneys, business leaders, and community experts.
