Strike a match Strike a match when all you’ve fought for your whole life is being torn apart in hours by mad men Strike a match when what you hear about the world today fills you with fear and disgust Strike a match when every other word out your mouth starts with “f” and ends with “uck” because no other words capture your rage at the fascists in power Strike a match when you feel like there is nowhere to run when even close friends seem to be turning compliant Strike a match step into its glow, be identified, be known— you are one who will not back down Strike a match light a lamp, shine it not on what you hate but on the path to overcome the hated Strike a match because in these dark days, we need someone to illuminate the way forward And you, with your matches, your steadfast heart— you have been chosen by Kat Georges

Strike. A. Match.
In these tumultuous times, this poem, by 3RP co-director Kat Georges, seems especially appropriate. (See Alt text for text version).

We are committed to championing the work of our Prize shortlisters. That means sharing good news like this!
