This year marks the 24th anniversary of the National Dyke March in Washington DC and the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Lesbian Avengers.  These two events inspired national activist efforts and a legacy of Dyke Marches across the country.

It also features 'The Lesbian Avengers: 25th Anniversary' traveling exhibition.
