Verses and Voices: Open Mic Night

Join us for Verses & Voices: Open Mic Night, an evening of creativity, connection, and community centered on Community & Care. This event is hosted by For Our Future Michigan, in partnership with Michigan Families for Fair Care and Bee Accepting. ??

?? Connect: The first 15–30 minutes will be open social time to grab some snacks, meet new people, and catch up with the community.

?? Create: We'll kick things off with interactive activities like six-word memoirs, finish-the-line prompts, cento poems, community poems, and spoken word challenges. Everyone is invited to participate, whether you're planning to take the mic or just want to create alongside others.

?? Share: We'll then open the mic for poetry, storytelling, songs, spoken word, and other creative expressions. Bring an original piece inspired by Community & Care or share something from an author you love. You can also simply come listen and enjoy the performances.

?? Get involved: Throughout the evening, we'll share opportunities to connect with organizing efforts in CD7 and ways to stay involved beyond the event.

?? Snacks and refreshments will be provided.

?? We'll also be collecting donations to support The Fledge, with QR codes available and cash accepted.

Come create, connect, share, and build community with us!
