Your Gift Empowers a Writer to Speak Their Truth

As the demand for more workshops and opportunities for creative expression grows, book banning efforts and attempts to erase history continue to spread through our communities.

Every book ban is an attempt at shaming and silencing the audience for that book. Every attempt at erasing history is an effort to change the narrative of and silence those communities.

At Write Pittsburgh, we believe storytelling is a form of survival, healing, documentation, transformation, and liberation. Your donation helps us provide:

Free teen writing workshops
Creative programs inside the Allegheny County Jail & addiction recovery centers
Sliding scale options for our workshops, removing financial barriers to access
Support individuals at all levels as they make sure that THEY are telling their own stories and preserving their own narratives
A sustainable future for this work
