Dear Backers and Friends,

This is just the beginning of the infinite gratitude we promised! We made it to our goal of $7000 with your support, and now we will be moving full-speed-ahead with the creation of the Concrete Justice: Street Poetry book. We are in the process of gathering all that we've written, drawn and photographed, and designing and editing the book.  We've found a social-justice printing press with whom we're excited to partner, and our graphic designer/book project manager Clarisa Diaz is working hard to get you the books by spring! Please stay in touch to find out about our progress and join us at our upcoming performances. Find us at:

Attached you'll find a video of Moon, one of the long-time members of Concrete Justice, performing a poem in our rehearsal space at the Society for Ethical Culture.  Also, check out the photo of a rockettes-style intervention during the forum at our most recent show at the Judson Memorial Church! Just a preview of what's to come in the book....

Our deepest gratitude.
