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?
