We are three friends-- Katie Sakol, Jill Garfunkel and Theresa Vincent-- together across time and distance. We live in New Jersey, Chicago IL, and Ashfield MA. Our friendships span some of these (and more) places and many decades. For 30 Poems in November, we are buoying each other in the spirit of togetherness, making our scratches, our poems and pieces throughout this month, in support of the Center for New Americans and the immigrant and refugee community members making a home again in this country. Because we are in this (boat) together. Please join us in any way you feel moved to -- in writing your own scratches this month, in giving or donating to our page.

100% of your donations go to the Center for New Americans, a longstanding and invaluable resource for new immigrants and refugees in the community. You can be assured that your gifts will reverberate in circles of goodwill, helping many individuals and families with real-life needs, like, free English for Speakers of Other Languages classes, employment and citizenship preparation support, among other resources.
