Incredible evening & turnout for the #STATSandSTANZAS event we hosted @busboysandpoets.bsky.social as part of @apha.org 2025. It was clear that we/the people need #PoetryForThePublicsHealth now more than ever. For healing. For resistance. For refusal. ❤️🖤💚✊🏽✌🏽 #PoeticHealthJustice #LOVEandRESISTANCE
