For over 9 years uproar has been an integral part of the DC LGBTQIA+ community. It has been a place of refuge to many people and has been a space where people have been allowed to express themselves freely. Many local LGBTQIA+ groups call uproar home and rely on the space for their community.

 

For more context and transparency about our current situation -- Due to significant increases in insurance costs for 2025, we've had to deplete our reserves from our summer sales. As a result, we are now struggling to cover rent and utility costs through the winter.

​

Our top priority is to ensure that our amazing staff, who are the heart and soul of Uproar, are fully supported. We are committed to keeping them fully employed and scheduled during this difficult time so they can continue to provide for themselves and their families.

​

At Uproar, we strive to remain a welcoming and affordable space for our community, and every donation will go directly toward covering rent and utilities. Any additional funds will be used to repair and prepare our space in time for World Pride 2025. We’ll also be running specials all winter long, and we can’t wait to welcome the wonderful guests who have supported us over the years.

​

We are deeply committed to our staff and our community, and we are beyond grateful for your ongoing support. We hope to see you all at Uproar soon!
