HAPPENING RIGHT NOW: Poets for Ferguson is a 24-hour livestreamed cypher consisting entirely (read, exclusively), of poets of color from across the country. Participating poets will be reading poems from 6PM EST, September 27th to 6PM EST, September 28th, to raise money for those protestors of Ferguson, MO who have accrued legal fees (bond, legal defense expenses, etc.) as a result of protesting in the wake of the murder of Michael Brown on August 9, 2014. All funds raised will be contributed to Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (M.O.R.E.) in their efforts to provide protestors with financial relief.
