PEN America

PEN America is a nonprofit organization that advocates for freedom of expression and supports writers and artists whose work is threatened or censored. Founded in 1922, it brings together authors, journalists, and activists to promote literature and protect the rights of individuals to share their ideas without fear of persecution. PEN America also engages in campaigns and provides resources to raise awareness about issues like censorship and the importance of diverse voices in literature and media. Through its efforts, it fosters a culture of open dialogue and creativity, essential for a healthy democracy.
