#SpreadTheWord

In it

Editor’s note: This poem is part of our #SpreadTheWord poem of the week series, featuring work by Chicago artists based on Injustice Watch reporting. The poem was inspired by our co-published article with The Triibe, ‘Analysis: Black Chicago youth are disenchanted by 2020 election options, but hope for a progressive future’.

since
we’re all in this together
until
we’re all not in this together
because after
we’re not in this together… we will surely
fall
apart.
