Poetry in Action: Limericks on Housing, Labour, & Climate

Who says policy, economics, and community advocacy have to be dry? Welcome to a collection of short, rhythmic, and punchy poems tackling some of the biggest issues facing our neighbourhoods today.

Poetry has always been a powerful tool for protest, storytelling, and grassroots connection. In this video, we use the classic, fast-paced structure of the limerick to break down complex civic topics into memorable verses meant to spark conversation, challenge the status quo, and get people engaging with our local system.

Here is a breakdown of the critical areas covered in this presentation:

• Civic Engagement & Housing: A critical look at city budgets, representation, and rising housing costs.
• Basic Health & Care: Shifting the conversation from corporate profits to human rights.
• Economic & Labour Rights: Celebrating worker solidarity and the collective power to demand fairness.
• Environmental Action: A urgent reminder of our shared responsibility to protect the planet from the fossil fuel age.
