Write the Future


At a time when uncertainty is everywhere, resources are getting pulled, and dissenting voices are being quieted.......

What do our city's young people need?

At 826DC, we know they
need spaces to create. 

To heal.
To imagine. 
To write the future.

And champions who will ensure their right to write freely, with courage and heart.
