STILL RISING to RESIST


Saturday, January 20

Begins 5:30—6:30 pm
New York Public Library
476 5th Ave at 42nd Street, Manhattan, NY


FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
 One year after our inaugural Writers Resist event, PEN America joins dozens of artists, arts organizations, and advocacy groups staging public events on Art Action Day. We'll host a sundown reading on the steps of the New York Public Library featuring literary texts that radically re-imagine community and mutual aid in the face of xenophobia, hatred, and threats to our sense of truth.
 Our exciting and growing lineup so far includes André Aciman, Tina Chang, Álvaro Enrigue, Justin Vivian Bond, George Emilio Sanchez, Anne Waldman, and others reading from the work of Gloria Anzaldúa, James Baldwin, Joy Harjo, and many more.

    Join us as we assemble to energize our community action and coalition building for the year ahead.
