Welcome to Write Away!
The writing forum for Project Read learners.

We've redesigned our blog so that adult learners working at Project Read can share what they have written with other learners, tutors, and the public. There are a few simple guidelines to be aware of.
  1. This is a moderated site, so submissions and comments will first be reviewed before being approved and published.
  2. Adult learners submitting their writing have the option of using their first name (only) or using "anonymous" for authorship.
  3. We wish to honor the writing efforts of the adult learner/authors, so no major copy editing will be applied, but we may suggest minor corrections in consultation with the author.
  4. Only active Project Read learners are eligible to submit their writing to the Write Away blog and there are two ways of doing this: send submissions via email to projectread@sfpl.org, or stop by the office with a hard copy of your writing.
  5. The views and opinions expressed on this web site are solely those of the original authors and contributors. These views and opinions do not represent those of the San Francisco Public Library and/or the City and County of San Francisco.

Break Silence - It's B.S.

Why should black lives matter to anyone else? From my experience living in S.F.H.A. for more than 10 years, I feel that we as black people in our own community don't care much about each others lives. What's up with that? If another race commits a violent crime against a black person, we don't have a problem snitching, We have a whole lot to say to our neighbors, media and even the police. When it's a black-on-black violent crime or domestic violence on our neighborhood sisters, brothers, or cousins in our community, we don't have nothing to say. We don't snitch. It's B.S. So, do black lives really matter to black people in our community? When will we Break Silence?
