Why I support PEN

6 December 2022 at 01:45 | 1794 views

In an increasingly polarized world, where major democracies are grappling with the rise of fascism, we need the voices of writers and journalists now more than ever.

For over a hundred years PEN centres around the globe have advocated and worked to protect their freedoms. From journalist deaths in Mexico, to the banning of books in the United States to the increasing silencing of writers and journalists in India, PEN and its membership speak up and shine a light on silencing and violence.

Please join me this December in supporting PEN’s essential work protecting writers and journalists and keeping that light on, ensuring the ability to express their work safely and freely.

With gratitude,

Devyani Saltzman, Writer and Curator, Vice Chair, Writers’ Trust of Canada
