Remembering ruth weiss

July 31st, 2021 is the one-year memorial of ruth weiss's passing. We remember ruth weiss as the exemplar of courage against conformity, inventiveness against the edicts of social acceptability, and standing up against the iron feet of oppression. She showed us the universal importance of strength of character, integrity, and the virtues of living a simple and valorous life.

August 1st is the final day to enter your poem in the ruth weiss foundation poetry contest.

Tonight we acknowledge and salute the enduring spirit of ruth weiss’s spirit as she grows in recognition and influence and becomes an indefatigable symbol of survival in the face of intolerance and hardship--forever a clarion beacon of compassionate originality.
