As 2022 comes to a close, it’s clear that free speech hangs in the balance. I’m asking for your support to safeguard it now and for the future.
With a climate of digital intimidation on the rise and book bans and educational gag orders running amok, PEN America is at the forefront of defending writers and the written word. From exposing punitive legislation that targets educators to holding social media platforms accountable for curbing online abuse, PEN’s role is as relevant as it was at its founding 100 years ago.
