The Writing Den Monthly Events are on Temporary Pause*

Due to health and safety concerns surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, our monthly den events in New York, San Diego, and Seattle are on temporary pause until further notice (see below). At this time, we are grateful for those on the front lines who bravely risk their lives to save, protect, and inform those in and outside of their communities. These include many of our Den Partners, who continue providing food, shelter, and other essential services to the homeless and others in need. Despite the pandemic's size, it is no match against handwriting's power to stay connected - offer help, give thanks, and provide hope, no matter the situation. Please consider taking a moment to "put pen to paper" and write someone who matters - from those fighting the virus and for racial justice to those you miss and love. Also supporting The Writing Den and our Partners.

*Virtual Monthly Dens with Mary's Place Women's Day Center, Third Thursday and New York Public Library/Muhlenberg Library, Last Wednesday. See below for details.
