Dear Friend:

Margaret Atwood warned us that the first sign of totalitarianism is book banning. As a powerful symbol against this censorship, she created an unburnable copy of her novel, The Handmaid’s Tale, which has been banned for years.

Join Margaret Atwood and stand with PEN America – your donation matters.

Thank you in advance for your support.
If you've already donated, thank you so much.
