PEN AMERICA
PEN America works across lines of difference to protect our shared civic space. At a time when education, libraries, and public platforms are increasingly politicized, they provide critical tools to resist censorship, protect artistic freedom, and affirm that a healthy democracy requires a diversity of stories and storytellers. Their work supports radical belonging by ensuring marginalized voices are not erased or silenced.
