Since 1989, PEN Belarus has been instrumental in supporting writers and protecting free expression in the country—and now faces imminent closure. When a government silences and stomps on its writers, it reveals a level of shame and decay that leaders are aiming to hide, but instead only expose. Despite the attempts of despots and authoritarian leaders, we know that the stories of the people will be told. But we need your support in order to keep those stories alive.
Make a contribution today to protect the freedom to write in Belarus and beyond. With your help, we can stand together against the forces of tyranny to make it clear that the vital voices of the Belarusian people will be heard, and that we will do everything we can to protect their freedom to write.
Thank you,
Suzanne Nossel
PEN America CEO
