Good Reasons to Support NewLit

NewLit has been mixing it up since 2015. The choice is clear. Fund the arts. As much as you can. Educate kids, support artists.

Yes, the planet needs rescuing, and people need food and housing and health care. The world needs all that and more. The world also needs the nourishment, refuge, and attention of the arts.

Young people who are marginalized—now speaking in their own voices. Writers now telling, and teachers now teaching, the stories of our lives. That’s what helps make democracy a democracy. That’s what NewLit is doing.

Thank you for choosing to join with us. (Not exactly an elevator pitch. Which is fine by us. Because sometimes it’s healthier to take the stairs.)
