Red Rover Reading Series Experiment #96: Know Your Rights
A special event with
100 Thousand Poets for Change
https://100tpcmedia.org/
On September 24, 2016, many poets around the world will make their voices heard. To declare the change they’d like to see most in the U.S. and throughout the international community, events are being staged worldwide as part of 100 Thousand Poets for Change.
In Chicago, this night of poetry and activism is based on the theme “Know Your Rights”. Inspired by The Clash’s song Know Your Rights, this night of poetry activism will address human rights in all forms, shapes, and sizes. Know your rights so you know where you stand. Know your rights, even as some ignore them.
