When America Felt Hopeless in the Face of Gun Violence. A US History Lesson

'Looking back at the 2020s: When America Felt Hopeless in the Face of Gun Violence. A US History Lesson’ by Zoe Dorado

Congratulations to Zoe Dorado, a 17-year-old poet from Alamada CA who has been crowned the winner of Power Labs’ first competition ‘Barrels to Bouquets: America Without Gun Violence’ in partnership with Brady United and Golden State Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr.

We put the call out to our network of over 10,000 poets in our community and eight talented poets were selected to engage in a two-week long workshop series led by Youth Speaks staff to produce the work you are viewing today as part of Power Lab.

As the competition winner, Zoe will be joined by Brady United supporters and Golden State Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr as she performs her winning piece at the Skybar inside Chase Center on October 6, 2022.
