We Are the Voices Radio is pleased to present inspiring poetry readings and edifying conversations, recorded this past fall and in spring and summer 2020.The episodes included in this series feature the voices of nationally prominent activists, scholars, poets, and more. We offer these episodes in the hope that they will contribute to our listeners’ well-being and self-reflection, and will heighten their awareness, and move them to action.

“We Are the Voices” is a Mellon Foundation Higher Education and Scholarship in the Humanities-funded project that forges an alliance between arts, literature, and public humanities. We are housed at Mills College in Oakland, CA, which sits on the ancestral and unceded land of the Ohlone people. This land acknowledgment serves as just a starting point for accountability and for actions to support indigenous organizations and change movements.
