# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Sanctuary: A Night of Poetry, Song, and Community
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 20 Mar, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Sanctuary is a place of refuge and solace, but its meaning has been appropriated and misrepresented in these politically divisive times. Please join us for an evening of poetry, music, and spoken word where more than a dozen local poets and musicians will share their talents that embrace a sense of sanctuary and community.
 
This free event is organized by Takoma Park Poet Laureate David Alberto Fernández, the City’s Takoma Park Arts series, and Vocal Takoma. Donations will be collected to support We Are CASA, a nationwide nonprofit organization that builds power and advocates for working-class Black, Latino/a/e, Afro-descendent, indigenous, and immigrant communities. 
 
Poetry and music are artistic languages that communicate heart to heart and create a sense of sanctuary, Fernández said. 

“It only takes a glance at the news, social media, or our local listservs to be fully aware that we are living in dangerous times,” Fernández said. “This is a moment when we need community and sanctuary, a place and a sense of safety where we can fully be ourselves. All of us. We need to reclaim the words that have been taken from us, and we need to raise our cultural voices that some are working very hard to silence as a means to help, to comfort, to support, to resist, and to restore.”
