Join instructors Elaine Beale and Alison Luterman for a Writing Salon Write-a-thon to raise funds for the Anti Police-Terror Project.

Elaine and Alison will provide a variety of writing prompts and exercises to spark your creativity and imagination. You’ll get a chance to abandon your inner critic, get your words on the page, and enjoy uninterrupted writing time.

Says Elaine, “At The Writing Salon we’re dedicated to bringing people together to be creative and build community—two important ways to get through these deeply challenging times. In this class, we’ll write, share with the group, and provide supportive feedback.”

This is also an opportunity to support the fight for racial justice since all payments made for this class will be donated to the Anti Police-Terror Project, an Oakland-based organization dedicated to creating strategies to end police terror in communities of color. Please join us.
