TW: Sexual violence
.
.
.
October 2020, Free Write began a long overdue process to account for our choices to work with an employee who caused sexual harm, the toxic organizational culture created by those choices, and the subsequent harm caused to close colleagues and partners.
This new Free Write Accountability Update acknowledges further harm we have caused during this process, announces the dissolution of Free Write Arts & Literacy, offers details on the current and the next phase of our accountability. bit.ly/2TirG8L

“We’ve seen the most politically active year in history. … A vision of a world that is not governed by violence and militarism. A vision of a world that names the harms of racial capitalism and patriarchy.”

Good local art is hard to come by! But not here! Join Kuumba Lynx and @FreeWriteChi Free Write Arts and Literacy for a virtual open mic featuring the artist Mel on December 17, 2020 from 4 PM to 6 PM. It’s going to be a good time.
