Executive Director of ONE DC, Dominic Moulden wanted to introduce ONE DC to the newbies in Camp Shaw that haven't heard of the great work his folks do for the City from their HQ up on S Street. Feel free to call to help out if you have some volunteer time and want to help out those in need in the community.

The Shaw neighborhood of Washington, DC is an historically African-American community that has suffered from decades of disinvestment, lack of city services, and lack of economic opportunities for its residents. Recent years have seen increased market-rate development that caters to new residents, often displacing long-time, low-income residents in the process.

ONE DC was founded in 1997 in the midst of this neighborhood change. From early on, ONE DC's approach to community development addressed structural causes of poverty and injustice, an orientation that stemmed from deep analysis of race, power, and the economic, political, and social forces at work in Shaw and the District. As a result, ONE DC’s community development work centers on popular education, community organizing, and alternative economic development projects.
