About this feature

In the months following the 2016 presidential election and preceding the 2017 Women’s March, Laynie Browne curated a collection of poems, artwork, and other creative works as a means of fostering resistance. These Solidarity Texts, circulated via PDF before the January 21, 2017, march, are housed here at Jacket2 in their permutated forms. Six critical essays on the Women’s March — its problems and successes — were solicited to contextualize these creative works, and to accompany the texts in this feature.
