We are a group of activists, educators, workers with a shared goal of establishing Bol; a worker-owned cafe, bookstore, and event space in Washington DC. 

The word Bol means speak in Urdu and Hindi. Bol Cafe will set itself apart from other bookstore cafes by adopting the worker-owned cooperative business model and is based on the ideals of racial justice and economic democracy. We aim to serve as a model for creating wealth in the community by becoming a destination for DC residents who are interested in social justice, engaging conversations, reading groups, and stimulating talks in a relaxing atmosphere.The storefront image above is a rendering but your support can make it real.
