The San Diego/Tijuana ReEvolutionary Poets Brigade was one of 9 chapters of the Revolutionary Poets Brigade. The first chapter was started by Beat poet Jack Hirshman in San Francisco in the Spring of 2009. The L.A. Brigade came to the World Beat Center in
San Diego sometime after 2014 and read their poems. A poet from the L.A. chapter had moved to San Diego, Rex Butters, and asked
San Diego poet Jim Moreno to start a San Diego Chapter. The San Diego Chapter echoing the social justice themes had their first reading in 2015 at Ducky Waddles in Leucadia, CA.
In 2016 the racist rhetoric of the future 45th President was not acceptable to San Diego Brigade members. San Diego Brigade coordinator Jim Moreno was invited to read poetry at CECUT, the cultural center of Tijuana by poet Francisco Busto and his poetry
group. At that reading Moreno apologized to the mostly Mexican audience for the racism by one man in the presidential competition and asked if any Mexican poets would like to join the Brigade to model friendship and counter racism and hate. 5 poets joined that night making the San Diego/Tijuana ReEvolutionary Poets Brigade bilingual and binational.
We are interested in strengthing our border with words, not walls. We strengthen both borders with friendship and respect, not with militariazation. We voice social justice, existential, feminist, and indigenous poetry. We are in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, 100,000 Poets For Change, Seed the Vote, The New Georgia Project, The World Beat Center, Activist San Diego, & The Revolutionary Poets Brigade, Los Angeles.

Hi folks! Mostly, I'm looking for someone to keep me accountable the way that things like NaNoWriMo do - a group where we can meet either online or in person and just all get on with our writing, and maybe once in a while actually read out some of our writing to one another and get honest feedback on where we're going. I would definitely prefer a group that understood and wrote mostly speculative fiction, as the feedback for that is very different from non-speculative fiction, as I have found, and a group that contains other LGBTQIA+ members would help me feel safe and part of a community.
As for my writing experience, I have a degree in Creative Writing from the University of Dundee, and a Masters degree in theatre in which I focused on writing for the stage. I have been writing creatively in one form or another since I was a small child. When I was a teenager, I wrote plays for a small local theatre group, and during my masters I wrote very short pieces for a very small group that were performed in the cafe of a major local theatre, which is the closest I have ever had to fame. Never had anything published mostly because I struggle with short-form pieces and also with actually finishing anything longer. Hence why I would like an accountability group.

My name is McKenzie. I have recently graduated from the University of West Florida with a master's in creative writing. I mainly read and write romance, especially dark, paranormal, and contemporary romance. I find that I am most in my element when writing about character relationships and interactions. I also really enjoy writing horror and poetry. I have published poems in a couple different places and am excited to continue submitting my work. I am excited to connect with writers!
Hey! My name is Jak. Experience? I've been writing poetry all my life, primarily in free verse, but I'm looking to bring a more formal, structured existence to my words now. I've written and self-published two volumes of poetry, and would love to move into traditional publishing. What am I looking for? People who understand the role poetry has in my life, who are happy to exchange work for constructive criticism, and a group that is openminded.
I started writing fiction at the age of 14, and underwent a major development in my writing style and process in 2020-21. I am a discovery writer who writes literary fiction novels about character relations and trauma. I started writing poetry in 2021 and have been writing free verse since then.
Looking for a group that meets online once or twice a month. Supportive critique, sharing resources.
Currently writing essays/ poetry that explore mental health, addiction, estrangement, and Latinx/ LGBTQ+ identity.
