A tract is a short literary work in pamphlet form. The pamphlets are handed out or left in places where people might discover them. Traditionally, tracts are religious in nature, meant to preach or proselytize. The invention of the printing press helped religious groups circulate persuasive material much more efficiently.
We borrowed the idea of religious tracts to disseminate our poetry, stories rants, tips, and other "preach-worthy" words. Look for them around town.
We are young women or female-identified or trans individuals ages 14-18 participating in the Kore Press Grrls Literary Activism Project in Tucson, AZ. We explore issues, find our voice, write, read out loud, take photographs, and present our words and ideas to the public.
Our writing, our art, our voices matter.
We are part of the community, we are social activists.
