The Disciples Advocacy and Witness Network (DAWN) is a regional
advocacy network that seeks faithfully to proclaim and promote within the Capital Area the ethical imperatives
of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
As a ministry of the
Christian Church Capital Area, DAWN brings together concerned Disciples--
individuals, congregations, and organizations in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
Delaware and the District of Columbia--to work together in the continuing struggle against
racism, violence, and poverty.
DAWN is a member organization of the
Disciples Justice Action Network (DJAN), a local partner of
Sojourners/Call to Renewal, a member of the faith groups network of the

InterFaith Conference of Metropolitan Washington, the
Maryland Interfaith Legislative Committee, the
