On September 26, 2015, many poets around the world will make their voices heard. To declare the change they’d like to see most in the U.S. and throughout the international community, events are being staged worldwide as part of 100 Thousand Poets for Change. In Chicago, this night of poetry and activism is based on the theme”Fight the Power”. Inspired by Public Enemy’s song Fight the Power, local writers will address standing up to the big man, the boss, the entities that have control over many aspect of our lives. Fighting negative power by doing positive work over time. Fighting the power in any way you can.
