You Bring the Voice, We'll Provide the Postage

The First Poetry Postcard Protest Party was so successful (with nearly 500 postcards written to representatives, addressed, and sent) that we have decided to do it again!


Please join us April 30th from 1 PM - 4 PM at Beyond Baroque.


This is a free event, donations gratefully accepted and refreshments will be available.

The Living Poetry Project

is looking to print another handful of poems on postcards for the Second Poetry Postcard Party. Please email your poems to nicellecdavis@gmail.com.


On April 30th people will gathering again to create, write, share, and send postcards voicing their political concerns. Some will make handmade cards, but others will appreciate having ready made cards for them to write their local representatives.


The Living Poetry Project would love to have your poems featured on these cards. Your words will be the front facing art.


Be mindful that the blank side of these cards will be used for people to write their local and national representatives about a wide range of concerns. If you want your card to ONLY BE USED for specific concerns, you will need to say so in your submission.


This project will be a collaboration in broadest sense. If you are feeling brave, this is the project for you.


Unfortunately due to budget constraints, (sorry, I'm a single mom and a school teacher so my pockets are a bit, eh, shallow.) not all submission will be able to be used, but I will do my best to include as many poems as possible. Most likely I will pick a card that best represents the following concerns:


Black Lives Matter

Climate Control

Dakota Access Pipeline

Education K-12

Education (Higher)

Immigrant Rights

Labor Rights

LGBT Rights

Refugee Rights

Rent Control

Women's Rights

Veterans Rights / Care


AND we are open to other topics we may have missed in this limited list.

You Bring the Voice, We'll Provide the Postage

From 1 PM - 3PM
Postcards and art supplies will be provided for the community to help them voice their concerns about the current political climate. A list of local and national representatives will be provided. This is a great time and space for people to gather information and learn where and how they’d like to address their voice.

From 3 PM – 4 PM

After the poetry postcards are created there will be an open mic for people to share their words.

Finally
Postage will be provided for the cards so everyone is able to mail their work to the appropriate representative.

Poetry Postcard Facilitators Include
Nicelle Davis, Arminé Iknadossian, and Quentin Ring
