Why? As PEN America’s newly-named president, I’ve watched our organization come up against challenge after challenge, only to emerge with new resolve. That is thanks to you.
When protesters were getting attacked in the streets, PEN America rallied for reform. When writers struggled, PEN America’s supporters raised money to support them. When disinformation threatened to derail democracy, PEN America deployed writers and experts to defend truth and shield the public from poisonous lies. You made all of this possible.
So, as you settle down for a muted celebration of the new year, please give what you can. Support the freedom to write and help us transform the trials of 2020 into the victories of 2021.
All the best,
Ayad Akhtar
President, PEN America
