Dear Friend,
As I reflect on the work of PEN America this year, the urgency of our fight is palpable. From book bans and disinformation to the heinous attack on our dear friend Salman Rushdie, adversaries of open discourse have become louder and more brazen.
At PEN America, we never stand idly by.
As principled defenders of free speech in a polarized world, we firmly believe that if we are to find our way out of this divisive moment, it will be because we coalesce around shared ideals. Free speech can be one of those if defended forcefully and authentically.
But we need your support.

We know that as a friend of PEN America, you believe in our work. You see the power in our mission – in our activism, our research and our grants to writers and artists at risk.
Please contribute today. Your support is critical to helping PEN America fight against censoriousness now and for years to come.
