Raise Your Voice: Poems & Stories of Protest
Saturday 4 PM Zoom
Welcome to Raise Your Voice: Poems & Stories of Protest. In this space we will put to the page our experiences of what is occurring in our country and our cities.
You do not have to be a writer to join this group. But, we will ask you to write with us. Let’s all come together to process our experiences and get clear on what we are seeking to transform.
This group is open to all.
This group was specifically created in response to the protests in Asbury Park. Please, spread the word, and let the community of Asbury Park know that we want to hear their stories. Invite Asbury Park to write in this space.
We are seeking to collect the accounts of those who live in Asbury Park for a larger project under development. We will accept stories and poems from others, too.
You are not required to share the writing done in this group. However, if you feel moved to do so, please, know that we are collecting the writing.
This project is being brought to you by multiple members of the poetry community of Asbury Park. We are here together to stand as one to raise our voices, to speak our truths, and to transform the injustices before us.
Here is the zoom invite:

With Love,
The Poets
