American Dream, Broken Promises – Poetry Showcase

What happens when the American dream collapses under the weight of its own contradictions? American Dream, Broken Promises is a gripping spoken word experience that dares to confront the illusions of freedom, prosperity, and equality.

Presented by Sol-Caritas and anchored by the dynamic voices of Sol-Poetry, this showcase serves as a poetic reckoning—a raw interrogation of injustice, displacement, economic despair, and the resilience of those left behind.

With sounds by DJ TNT and a chef-driven menu that reflects the soul of the struggle, the evening unfolds at MOCA HTX, where protest meets performance. The stage becomes a battleground, the mic a weapon, and the words a rebellion.

Join us as we tear through the tattered fabric of false promises and speak truth to a nation still learning how to listen.

This isn’t just poetry. It’s a revolution in verse.
