Dear Julie,

Writing allows me to nurture my ideas and transform them into my next suspense thriller. And thanks to PEN America, I can write every day and know that my freedom to write is safe.

PEN America was founded in 1922 to stand at the intersection of literature and human rights—to protect free expression in the United States and around the world. To defend writers of various disciplines in a country born from the idea of freedom. Through this vital mission, PEN America champions the important place of literature in our culture so that people everywhere can benefit from the free flow of ideas and information.

In so many ways, PEN America’s tireless work protects writers and enriches our society. From guarding free speech on college campuses, to researching government trends to protect against censorship around the world, to developing tools for writers to defend against online harassment, to promoting community-level press freedom activism in cities across the country, to advocating for individual writers and artists at risk, PEN America’s work safeguards our freedom of expression.

Will you help energize PEN America's mission with a gift of $25, or even $50, before the end of the year to support writers everywhere and protect our freedom to write?

Thank you—your support makes a difference.

Sincerely,

David Baldacci
