In this rapidly shifting world we need all kinds of warriors using all kinds of skills to help keep this planet livable for future generations. This is a free gathering, open to all who want to use words to fight, grieve, protect, reflect or reimagine. All writing genres are welcome—in the past this group has generated climate-themed letters to the editor, poems, essays and pieces of fiction. This gathering is sponsored by Word House, 350 Vermont, and MotherUp! Vermont. We hope you’ll join us!

When: Fridays, 9-11 am

Where: Patio Coffee & Word House. Hooker Dunham Patio & Catherine Dianich Gallery, 139 Main Street. Down the alley, through the glass doors & past the gallery walls.
