Friend—

As a supporter of PEN America, you know that the freedom to write is one of the most important ways to keep our literary culture—and our political freedoms—alive.

I’ve seen firsthand the devastating impact that this year has had on writers, publishers, and our literary communities at large. But I’m encouraged by the number of new stories and voices we’ve seen this year as well, and the way that readers and writers have shown up to meet the challenges of this moment. And no other organization has championed the freedom to write and the stories of often-overlooked voices as much as PEN America.
SUPPORT THE FREEDOM TO WRITE AND BE HEARD ([link removed][UNIQID])

Over the course of its nearly 100-year history, PEN America has ensured that people everywhere have both the freedom to write and the freedom to access the words of others. And with your support, PEN America can continue valuable initiatives like the Prison & Justice Writing Program, which provides incarcerated writers with mentorship and writing resources, and DREAMing Out Loud, which provides free writing workshops for young, undocumented writers.

Your support means the world to us and to the thousands of writers whose voices—with your help—can finally be heard. Please join me in supporting PEN America and the literary culture of tomorrow. ([link removed][UNIQID])
