How has Zero Fares benefitted you, your household and your community? Tell us about it in a poem!

 

April is National Poetry Month. Together for Brothers (T4B), Albuquerque Bus Riders Union (ABRU) and community partners including City Poet Laureates and other Albuquerque poets are collaborating to support transit dependent bus riders and others to tell their stories with poetry about how Zero Fares benefit them, their households and their communities. Poetry will be shared with the mayor, city council and community. City Poet Laureates and other poets will be writing and recording poems as well as leading poetry workshops.

 

How can you be involved?

Poetry workshops will be hosted throughout April. The poetry submission deadline is April 20 and poems will be screened and published online on T4B’s website and social media. Submit your poem at bit.ly/PMZFabqsubmit.

 

T4B appreciates the City of Albuquerque, Energy Foundation and other community partners for their support of the Poetry Month and Zero Fares project and other transit equity organizing.
