“Those of you who know me know I’m not about complacency or waiting on things to change. For the third year in a row I am honored to be organizing the 100 Thousand Poets for Change events in Albuquerque. This year, we have a very specific theme, which you will also see a prelude to at the August edition of MAS Poetry. Our theme this year is I WILL BE LOVED. The focus of these events is simple, but powerful I hope. If you have ever felt like you had a target on your back because of bullying, sexual identity or preference, gender, race or anything else, then our goal is to take those targets and realign them. We won’t stand for targeted hatred anymore. From now on, target one another with love, respect, and sanity. If you’re down to help us create this message and create the events, please let me know asap. Let em know that 100 Thousand Poets worldwide and here in the 505 are DONE with hate.”-Zachary Kluckman, 100TPC Albuquerque
