ENGAGE
This Week
Our monthly poetry share will take place this Sunday, February 25.
Join us to share and/or listen to poems and other readings about
Black History Month. The discussions that follow each month9s
poetry share are always thought-provoking and memorable.
If you would like to share, please look for poems or short writings
from Black authors who inspire and challenge us. If you would like
to write something yourself, we urge you to keep Black History
Month in mind as a theme. See you on the downtown post office
steps from 11-1. We will start the poetry sharing at noon.
Last Week
The temperatures were frigid but the crowd on the post office steps
didn9t want to leave last Sunday. We enjoyed hearing Geoff Serra
discuss the latest installment of Westerly ARC9s monthly column in
the Westerly Sun. This month, Geoff wrote about equity vs. equality,
especially as it relates to the school systems9 Equity Audit.
Looking Ahead

Town Meetings
Get Involved
Westerly ARC encourages those who can to attend Westerly Town
Council and School Committee meetings. Your presence and
involvement are important ways to show our elected officials that
creating a more equitable and inclusive town and school system
must always be a priority.
Town Meetings
Take Action
Here are some specific actions you can take this week in support
of social justice:
EDUCATE
2024's national theme for Black History celebrates the entire history
of African Americans and the arts. The Association for the Study of
African American Life and History chose this theme to place the
national spotlight on "the richness of the past and present with an
eye toward what the rest of the twenty-first century will bring."
Thank you to Geoff Serra for compiling this series.
