Next week today, we’ll be
en route to New York.

Alvin with Underground Writing, Migrant Leaders Club, and Pulitzer-Prize winner Quiara Alegría Hudes.

15 high school students from the Mount Vernon Public School’s Migrant Leaders Club and students of Underground Writing are traveling to New York to

• Attend the musical MISS YOU LIKE HELL at New York’s Public Theater
• Speak on stage after the performance with Quiara
• Meet with students at a sister school in the Bronx
• Visit Ground Zero, the Statue of Liberty, and Times Square

Full details and a short podcast to explain are at the GoFundMe. The students’ travel is funded by a grant written by Quiara, and Alvin is filming a documentary of the trip.

Dear donors, this is one of many projects I get to support with administrative and communications muscle. This is a case of several unique, fruitful organizations in careful collaboration to take advantage of a HUGE opportunity. For 15 incredible students!
Your support to my position keeps this trip from going unnoticed and undocumented. Thank you!
