Poets in Resistance Again!—A Reading and Rally for Justice
Tree of Life UU Congregation
The TOLUUC Social Justice Committee is proud to present Poets in Resistance Again!—A Reading and Rally for Justice at church, 5603 Bull Valley Road in McHenry on Saturday January 11, 2025 from 7-10 pm featuring outstanding poets from McHenry County and the surrounding region representing a wide range of voices and styles from communities now living with fear and oppression. Express you solidarity and support and commit to being actively engaged in a movement of resistance. A voluntary $20 donation is requested to be split between Tree of Life’s social justice commitments including Compassion for Campers, Jail Breakers, LGBTQ+ sanctuary and non-gender conforming family support, and community partnerships and groups on the front lines of our struggles. People can split those donations between organizations. But no one will be turned away because they can’t afford the donation. Admission includes hors d’oeuvres and snacks, coffee and cold drinks, and adult beverages. Poets can sell their books and collections.
