Wednesday Night Poetry is committed to providing a platform that bridges communities and hearts, facilitating understanding and empathy, especially by amplifying BIPOC and LGBTQ voices at this pivotal moment in the consciousness of our country. Black Lives Matter.

June is #Pride Month, the anniversary of the 1969 riots by the LGBTQ community against police brutality at New York City's Stonewall Inn, led by the heroism of Black Trans women. Black Trans Lives Matter. This year Pride is marching for Black Lives. We are extending #pride.

This week, and every week going forward, we must all commit to LISTEN to all the parts that make us a WHOLE HUMANITY. This week, these tremendous voices build bridges with their hearts and with their words.
