People's Poetry 2009

The 2009 People's Poetry Night was a fundraiser for the Strategy Center's Taking Action after school program and its Summer Youth Organizing Academy. It showcased the poetry, dance and art of high school organizers in Los Angeles who are helping to build the movement against the "pre-prison" conditions in LAUSD schools.
