And instead of welcoming the call to be consistent in their advocacy for justice, they have made the choice to double down on the Palestine exception and call it "staying in our lane." There's still time to choose differently, @PENamerica.

For authors still wondering if your voices matter, $75,000 will now be donated to the @ThePCRF because of the dogged work of @wawog_now and the moral courage of dozens of writers of conscience who spoke out in solidarity with the people of Gaza.

The best news out of all this is that the executors of Jean Stein’s estate are giving this year’s award $$ to @ThePCRF. 👏👏👏 Don’t make this about authors losing. It’s about justice winning. lithub.com/the-pen-americ…
Encampment is speech. Withdrawing from consideration for an award is speech. Calling a genocide a genocide is speech. Free speech is under attack, but not just on the front of book bans. To only choose to look at one aspect of fascism is to underwrite its power.

They're not saying all 50+ writers look like this, they're saying they will be the time a winner is picked.
This grant is for writers over 50. Look at the image.
If you're here to make pro-ceasefire people answer for every single person who claims to be part of the movement, you're not being genuine. Every encampment has posted its rules and stated its values/demands clearly, both in print and on socials. Read them. 2/2
Tired of people who've never posted about these student protestors, or even about the war, but now post the one random kid on the outskirts saying something offensive, and want me to believe "I truly want an end to the killing but I just can't see how this helps the cause." 1/2
The problem with @PENamerica is that they CAN express full solidarity & HAVE. They’ve done it before, condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with their whole chest. Palestine is just the blaring exception. You can’t pretend now to be an org above politics. You just can’t!
Today, we released an open letter with over 135 writers, artists, and human rights defenders to express our collective condemnation of Russia’s full-scale invasion of #Ukraine, a campaign of violence rooted in the erasure of Ukrainian culture. Read here: pen.org/open-letter-in…

Incredible how a so-called free-speech organization didn’t bother to concern itself with Israel’s targeted assassination of hundreds of journalists & poets in Gaza, deeply mysterious This whole thread is an object lesson in hand-wringing complicity & should be studied as such
