Imagine a World Without Exploitation: Be a part of our crowdsourced poetry project.

Share a poem that envisions a world where no one is bought, sold or exploited and your words may be featured in a spoken word performance that will debut at Equal Not Exploited, the World Without Exploitation 2020 Youth Summit. Curated and authored by writers Marline Johnson, Nikki Patin and Anne K. Ream —  and co-presented by Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation, Surviving the Mic, and The Stories We Tell Program at The Voices and Faces Project — "Imagine a World Without Exploitation" is a crowdsourced poetry project that asks us to envision a more just, peaceful and exploitation-free world. 

Thank you, Obama Foundation Fellows: Bringing "Our Stories Are Our Power" to a new generation of leaders.

"Our Stories Are Our Power" is a half-day advocacy training that asks participants to think in new ways about how to use their personal stories to create political change… explores "the ethics of story sharing" in our digitally connected era… and looks at how language and word choices can open people up (or shut them down) in these politically polarized times. Engaging, interactive, and dialogue-driven, "Our Stories Are Our Power" has traveled across the North American and African continents. Most recently we brought this program to the University of Southern California School of Social Work (January, 2020) and the Obama Foundation Fellows Program at University of Chicago (March, 2020).Today, we're debuting a new, digital iteration of this popular training to that the work can continue in this socially-distanced era.
