Wine & Cheese Open House

In these turbulent times, we want to provide an opportunity for our members to gather and enjoy the comforts of camaraderie. You're welcome to contribute a bottle of wine, some beer, an appetizer, some cheese, etc. - but a contribution is definitely not expected or required. Come alone or with a partner or friend.

The party will take place at a member’s apartment overlooking Holzhausenpark in Nordend, Frankfurt with large windows guaranteeing a good air flow. 

Please RSVP to [email protected] and we’ll send you the exact address. The party will be a 3G event for all adults. Children are welcome.

CELEBRATE WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH WITH DAG WOMEN'S CAUCUS

Reproductive rights are hanging in the balance and are essentially at the risk of being erased!

The National Women's History Alliance's theme of Women's History Month 2022 is "Providing Healing, Promoting Hope”. This DAG Women's Caucus and Wiesbaden Mainz Chapter event will focus on reproductive rights: where we were, where we are, where we want to be and what we can do!

Please join us for the two short films Roe at Risk and When Abortion was Illegal, discussion on Reproductive Justice, and learn what you can do to help.
