5 CITIES,
5 POEMS
PEACEPLAYERS SHARE THEIR VOICES
In the summer of 2022, PeacePlayers from each of
the five cities answered the question “Why does
PeacePlayers exist in my city?” in poem form.
They presented their work to roaring applause –
in front of a crowd of more than 100 PeacePlayers
youth, staff and guests at the 2022 Friendship
Games in Israel. Together, they paint a picture of
what it means to be a young person in Detroit,
Chicago, Baltimore, Brooklyn and LA. What it
means to be a young person who gives their all for
their community. Here are their words.
