Poetry as Protest: a Writing Workshop + Open mic

Poetry as Protest is a political writing workshop and open mic that invites participants to reflect and fight for the world around them through poetry and storytelling. This generative space is rooted in truth-telling and resistance. Whether you're responding to current events, ancestral memory, or personal struggles, this workshop will help you put your politics on the page.

The event will begin with a guided writing session and followed by an open mic where attendees can share new or existing work that speaks to the moment.

Throughout the event, local organizations will be tabling and speaking about their missions offering ways to support, get involved, and stay connected. Art is protest, and so is showing up for our communities!
