Purpose Partner Roots Soccer Game & 5th annual write your roots all-town poem !
Sat. | Sept. 20 | 7pm
@ Oakland Coliseum
Come out and Write Your Roots with us at our Oakland Roots Purpose Partner (and Pride Night!) game on Saturday, September 20th. Visit us at our Poetry Booth, root for our favorite hometown soccer team, and catch Chapter 510 youth poets on the mic.
Chapter 510 has been a Roots Purpose Partner since they first became our homegrown team five years ago, and we’ve been writing all-Town, multigenerational poems together ever since.
What is Write Your Roots?
Every year, Chapter 510 organizes Write Your Roots in partnership with the Oakland Roots. It is an annual all-Town epic poetry project which activates our multi-racial, multi-generational Oakland community to write a collaborative poem together.
At the game, we will be celebrating the release of last year’s all-town poem “Because Our Future”, featuring one young poet on the mic, and inviting our community to contribute lines to this year’s poem at our Poetry Booth.
