Bread & Roses: on the Accessibility of Stories

Open to all mentees, all mentors, diversity committee members, program alum, the public and website editorial committee members

Art too often is the first thing that’s cut when budgets are tight. Stories, ideas, and perspectives are treated as a privilege, rather than a necessary part of life. As New York City’s libraries are forced to close their doors due to budget cuts, join us for a timely discussion about accessibility of stories for all.

In this studio you will learn about Girls Write Now's Next-Gen Philanthropy Initiative, entitled The Story Changes Minds.
