(March 20) Defending Against Online Harassment: A PEN America Training

The Writers Guild of America, East and PEN America
invite you to attend

Defending against Online Harassment

A training for writers, journalists, their allies and employers.

Writers and journalists are facing unprecedented levels of hate and harassment online. Building on PEN America’s Online Harassment Field Manual, this training session equips writers and journalists, as well as their allies and employers, with practical tools and strategies to defend against online abuse, including: preparation, response, legal considerations, self-care, and best practices for offering support. While there are no easy answers, open conversations about the impact of online harassment and how to fight back can empower writers and journalists to stay online and continue exercising their free expression rights.

CLOSED TO PRESS
This training welcomes writers and journalists as participants, but due to the sensitive subject matter being discussed, it is not open to press wishing to cover the event.
