The Peace Poets

We are a collective of artists from the Bronx that celebrate, examine and advocate for life through music and poetry.

Our elementary-age members created a beautiful community altar to honor our ancestors for #DiaDeLosMuertos. The altar, located at the Frank White Memorial garden, is a space to honor those who came before us, with photos, offerings, candles, letters, flowers, & fruits. #BroSis

[Justice Committee (now on bsky!) @watchthecops]

DISGRACEFUL for @BronxDAClark to disrespect #AntonioWilliams' family, delay just to say she won't pursue charges on #NYPD cops that killed Antonio, a loving son, brother & father. Fight is not over! Antonio's family calls on @NYCMayor @NYPDShea to #FireNYPD cops responsible

Sign the petition now to call on @POTUS & @DHSgov Secretary Mayorkas to stop criminalizing, deporting, & tearing apart immigrant communities.

It's within their power to hold ICE and CBP accountable, and the time is now.
