All members of our community are welcome to share their own works – or poems by others – on the theme of activism. Poetry Club president Hilary Mejia Cruz and Skyline College faculty will lead the afternoon’s discussion. Invite a friend for what promises to be an inspiring, insightful Friday afternoon!
