Callout for Spoken Word Event

FACTIVISM: News, information and opinion are never far out of reach. We are saturated with headlines, images, slogans, sound bites and signs but often lack facts. Facts are powerful, yet they can be cherry-picked and spun. How are facts verified? How do we form our view? What banner should we flock to? What is the right cause? How do we put the truth to work?
