These messages will be placed in traditional lucky red envelopes, and hung on a lucky bamboo tree to create a collective, radical hope for the New Year.
Participant messages will be incorporated into the USDAC’s The Poetic State of the Union Address which will be hosted by the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco on March 11.
This is part of BRIC's The Free Radicals House Party.

ABOUT the PSOTU:
Every January, the President delivers a State of the Union address highlighting important issues from the past year and suggesting priorities for the coming year. It’s a broadcast from one to many. But democracy is a conversation, not a monologue. Understanding the state of our union takes We the People reflecting in our own communities on our challenges and opportunities locally, nationally, and globally.
Join us for a People's State of the Union story circle! This is a powerful way of coming together, getting to know one another, and reflecting on the state of our community, country, and world. No need to prepare anything. Just show up and be yourself!
