With heavy hearts, we share that Split This Rock must suspend its work for the time being. Your support can help us make this pause temporary. This is a rallying call to help us bridge a $68,750 funding gap. Read the full announcement & learn how you can help: bit.ly/HelpSplitThisRock
Black rectangle with Split This Rock's red logo at the top, and a red button that reads "17 YEARS OF POETRY FOR SOCIAL CHANGE" at the bottom. In between are five photos with poets of all ages writing, reading, and performing their work.

That’s a wrap on our Youth Activist Poetry Anthology summer program hosted in partnership with Shout Mouse Press! For 6 weeks, 20 young poets from the DC area gathered for political education & poetry workshops. Check out the behind the scenes from the program: bit.ly/47Xc1jg

In a green speech bubble, a testimonial from a participant in the Youth Activist Poetry Anthology Project reads: “I noticed when I would see things happen in the world that made me feel powerless, I could get a little bit of my power back if I wrote a poem.”

Dream with us! As we fundraise toward a more sustainable future for Split This Rock, we want to know: what programming most excites you?

All ideas will be considered by staff & board as we reimagine the organization’s work. Share your ideas with us: bit.ly/HelpSplitThisRock

#Poets #Poetry
Split This Rock’s red logo in the upper right corner. Below is bold text that reads “DREAM WITH US” and behind it are multi-colored lines connecting to a question: “As Split This Rock assesses future possibilities and devises a new sustainability model, what kind of programming would you be most excited about the organization offering?” Below is a graphic of people discussing and collaborating on a project. One person sits in a wheelchair with a laptop, two others stand and gesture toward the project, and another holds an infant and listens.
