NYC No Menthol Poetry Contest

Welcome to the movement!

Join us for the NYC No Menthol Poetry Event—an unforgettable evening where poetry becomes power and purpose meets performance.

This isn’t just a show—it’s an experience designed to spark conversation, healing, and action around the impact of menthol and tobacco in our communities.

What to expect:

• Dynamic performances from professional spoken word artists
• Youth poets taking center stage, sharing bold, tobacco-free messages
• Powerful community moments, connection, food, and more

Together, we’re creating space for truth, expression, and change.

📍 Location: Mother AME Zion Church, 140 W 137th St, New York, NY
