BUSBOY AND POETS COLUMBIA MD SERIES
This series will take place on the 3rd Wednesday at 8:00pm May through October:Īug 17 – Takoma => TICKETS – hosted by Glo Shines We hope this poetry series will lift up the stories from these communities, as well as speak to the spiritual and healing connections, and fun times humans have with water. Too often, our low-income and marginalized communities are the ones most harmed by flooding, polluted waterways and historical disinvestment. Our DC rivers, while vastly improved since the 1970’s, still experience sewage overflows and legacy toxic pollution. For five decades, the Clean Water Act has protected our waterways and stopped practices such as the discharge of completely untreated wastewater. We need it to keep our bodies healthy, our communities safe, and our economies strong. What does water mean to you? This special series of poetry events explores the undeniable fact that “Water is life.” Waterkeepers Chesapeake, in partnership with Busboys and Poets, is hosting this series as part of the Clean Water Act 50th Anniversary Campaign.Įveryone has the right to clean water. Join Waterkeepers Chesapeake to explore what water means to you through poetry and story.
