A recent New York Times article listed 294 words and terms the Trump Administration wants to silence—from “accessible” to “Latinx” to “mental health.” Reading that list I felt erased, enraged, and ultimately, called to action. Join me in taking those words back.
Here’s how:
- Visit poemrenovation.com March 10th-16th. Each day you’ll have the opportunity to rearrange a new section of the banned word list on our digital canvas.
- Share your creations and/or a video of you reading them with me via email.
- Share your creations on social media.
- Tag poem RENOVATION in your posts.
- Spread the word!
Let’s take our words back—together.
