WORDS THAT MOVE US: An Evening of Politics & Poetry
Two best friends. Two callings. One shared belief: words matter.
Join us for a lively and thoughtful evening of words and works; where public service meets the power of language. Suzanne Gavenus, candidate for House District 85, will give remarks about the road ahead for her district. And, in a special guest appearance, a reading of new work by poet Maria Garcia Teutsch.
Come for the inspiration, stay for the conversation, and help shape what comes next. Because democracy not only requires a commitment to public service, but also to courage and imagination.
