30 Poems in November! is the perfect way to support classes and services for immigrants in our community. Without words in English, students are essentially locked out of the community. Once proficient in English, students are better able to access healthcare, housing, living-wage employment, children's schools. Your words support their words -- your literary gifts give the gift of English literacy.
This year I am raising funds in honor of our teacher and friend Jay who did so much to support the literacy community. Please pay it forward if you can!
