Spring Luncheon 2026

How can men help prevent domestic violence? What does shared responsibility really look like in action?

Our Spring Luncheon is one of our flagship events. It's a 'friendraiser' and a 'fundraiser' for DC SAFE, but also an opportunity to come together and have a dialogue around an important topic in our field. This year's theme is: Partners in Change, A Shared Responsibility to Prevent Violence Against Women.

Our expert panel will discuss men's role in our work and how healthy masculinity and feminism can work together to create real change in our communities.

Guest Speakers:

• Dena Hasan, Founder and CEO, StraightCircle Solutions
• Dr. Roger Mitchell, 126th President, National Medical Association
• Neil Irvin, Executive Director, Men Can Stop Rape
• Jayrick Hayes, Young Adult Dating & Relationship Coach
