Friend—

Tonight is PEN America’s first national virtual gala. We hope you’ll join us for an evening of celebrating the power of words as we toast our Honorees, including President Barack Obama, Patti Smith, Xu Zhiyong, Darnella Frazier and Marie Yovanovitch, and Frank A. Bennack Jr.

There’s still time to register for this one-night-only event here. However, if you aren't able to join us, I hope you will support this incredible evening and the freedom to write by chipping in to help us continue this work in 2021. Your support helps us protect the freedom to write both here and around the world as we defend writers, artists, activists, and other truth-tellers.  

As we look back at the accomplishments of this year, I’m asking if you’ll chip in to help us continue this work as we go into 2021. Your support helps us protect the freedom to write both here and around the world as we defend writers, artists, activists, and other truth-tellers.  

SUPPORT OUR WORK

It’s hard to believe how much the world has changed over the course of this year. But throughout the many challenges of 2020—the pandemic, the historic flood of disinformation that threatens to overwhelm our discourse, and a crisis of leadership at the very top levels of our government that has imperiled our democracy—one thing that hasn’t changed is PEN America’s commitment to the fight for free expression. 

Thank you for joining us in that fight. We hope to see you (virtually) at tonight’s festivities. 

Thank you,

Suzanne Nossel headshot
