"I started saying to myself, why don't we have a physical space? Why don't we have a Butterworth's for like-minded individuals?"
"We're not putting our politics in your face,"
"I like to say with this place, if you know, you know."
Rhonda Foxx created Civic, a Barracks Row salon that functions as a daytime café and will offer evening cocktails to foster physical community for like-minded women. Foxx served as National Women's Engagement Director for the Biden-Harris campaigns, founded the Persist Network, co-hosted events with Gloria Steinem, ran for Congress, and spent five years as chief of staff to Congresswoman Alma Adams. Civic emphasizes women’s contributions through displayed art, a pastry program from woman-owned Souk, and beverages sourced from female roasters, wine producers, and spirit makers. Civic operates 8 AM–2 PM, hosts a quarterly Equal Grounds coffee residency, and plans a daytime cocktail menu of spritzes, Bloody Marys, and boozy coffee drinks.
