@USRowing's updated gender inclusion policy opens the door for non-binary and trans athletes. What do you think? https://t.co/ozGJftrqqT

POSTPONED:Saturdays AMBTIF boat dedication with Arshay Cooper has been postponed due to forecasted hurricane-related weather in DC this weekend (and also the fact that two of the Howard rowers were coming in from Tampa, and obviously their safety is paramount). New date TBD!

#throwbackthursday: Unfortunately, the 13.1-mile Wye Island Regatta no longer exists. But in 2012, DC Strokes took home medals in the masters M8+ and W8+ events, and an additional 16 adventurous novices took on the half-marathon challenge.

Coast to coast! Strokes sent a 4-person contingent to @eastbayrowingclub’s Boats Without Barriers in Oakland, CA last Saturday. EBRC hosted the regatta in protest of USRowing Masters Nationals in FL. We're lucky to have an ally like EBRC!

MAKE A STATEMENT FUNDRAISER!
A social media comment called DC Strokes and our '22 Masters Nationals boycott supporters "misinformed radical activists." Instead of being offended, we turned it into a fundraiser. Get yours: https://t.co/Iw4KfbJhEH
