Red background with a black silhouette image to the left of the page. This black outline represents a broken wall and there are multiple people of different ages crossing the wall. There are flames on each side of the wall at the bottom of the black outline.

Join Mexican Students de Aztlán (MeSA), Fearless Undocumented Alliance (FUA), and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) this Fall 2022 Semester for an in-person OPEN MIC and open to all audiences! Don’t miss out on the amazingly talented poets as they share their own poetic words on this month’s theme: Recognize the existence of physical and non-physical borders

Guiding Questions:

  • What are societal/and or cultural borders that need to be burnt down?
  • What borders are present in your life, and how do you confront these challenges?
  • How do you envision a world without borders?

Leading the night will be our featured poet: Melissa Castro Almandina
