I've been thinking a lot about this quote and formulating ways to bring this to the public through social practice: 

"Do you want to help the world? Read the poetry of the people we're bombing." 

Sherman Alexie Oct, 10, 2011 at Rutgers University

Of the seven countries expected to be named in Trump's executive order, the US is currently bombing five of them: Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen. In 2016 alone, the country dropped an estimated 26,172 bombs in seven countries, (including Pakistan and Afghanistan), according to the Council of Foreign Relations.Jan 26, 2017
