Does truth have a fighting chance?

Friend, I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss Suzanne’s earlier email.

We are closing the door on 2020 with a sense of unparalleled urgency on behalf of the values that are at the heart of PEN America's mission and are the building blocks of a functioning, humane, and empathic society. We will need to fight even harder in the new year to promote a diverse literary culture and preserve our freedom to write.

Support PEN America before midnight and help ensure that free expression is protected in 2020.

Dear Friends,

We are entering 2020 with a sense of alarm about the values and principles that have underpinned not just our democracy, but our culture: truth, facts, freedom of expression. We must double down if we are to preserve so much of what we hold dear. Join with us to fight disinformation, combat online harassment, defend the right to know, and demand that the President of the United States uphold the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Will you stand with PEN America and protect your vital right to free expression?

Your gift can energize PEN America’s work on:

defending press freedom;
keeping college campuses open to all voices;
protecting writers and artists at risk;
mobilizing readers and writers in communities all across the country;
elevating emerging writers;
honoring literary excellence; and
celebrating and safeguarding creative expression.

2020 will be a critical year for free expression. We need you to stand with us and challenge growing threats to this freedom. Make a gift today that helps safeguard this universal right from coast to coast and around the world in 2020.

Suzanne Nossel
CEO, PEN America
