ENTER THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE POETRY SLAM!

Look around Detroit...Abandoned lots. Empty buildings. Industrial factories. Toxic contamination. Is this urban renewal?

Children with asthma. High cancer rates in the city. Lead poisoning. Schools built on waste sites. Don't we deserve better?

What have YOU got to say about what you see around? What are YOU going to do? What kind of vision do you have for the city?
