The OB high school slam poetry club is looking to get team jackets!!! They're a group of really incredible young writers of color who are super excited for a state-wide slam coming up in March. However, there isn't money in the budget at our public school in a historically redlined district, and our amazing literary nonprofit that runs the slam program is already strapped. But we know that there are people out there willing to invest in young writers of color who just want to be able to show up just like everyone else in team gear, and focus on their art — and their first poetry slam!

We're looking to get custom jackets with their school name on it in their school colors (blue and white). Students have been talking about jackets for a while, and especially for their first slam, these jackets would be a big boost to their confidence/excitement!

We appreciate your support in helping young poets of color to the slam stage with pride!
