Writers Resist Revival is an evening of writers and music celebrating freedom, art, and the fight for our rights. Proceeds from this fundraiser benefit three vital causes: the New York Abortion Access Fund, the Ulster Immigrant Defense Network, and Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.
The event brings together an extraordinary roster of writers and performers, including author and New York Times opinion writer M. Gessen (The Future Is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia), Ethiopian-American novelist Dinaw Mengestu (Someone Like Us) feminist author Jessica Valenti (Abortion: Our Bodies, Their Lives, and the Truths We Use to Win), and author and cultural critic Lucy Sante (I Heard Her Call My Name). The evening will also feature musical performances by David Gonzalez, Robert Burke Warren, and The Goddess Party.
Writers Resist is a shared affirmation of democratic values and creative resistance.
