FOR ENTIRE PRESS CONFERENCE VIEW IN @dominicanwriters IG LIVE. Reposted from • @dominicanwriters We were tapped by #dignidadliteraria last week to help organize Latino writers in nyc and we immediately said YES, that we would do whatever possible to support the movement. We quickly mobilized a team and spent the weekend creating lists, reaching out to our network, organizing a town hall meeting. Many people think that we are just mad at this author, that’s not the case, well maybe a little bit, the bigger picture is that there are systematic problems within the publishing industry that require major fixing. We demand equality before during and after publishing. There’s so much we wish to say, please come to Thursday townhall meeting at word up for an in depth conversation. Thank you to @_lasantera for being our voice, representing for both #dwa and @nyclwg, thank you to @wordupbooks and to @sydneywritehere for joining the resistance and mobilizing so quickly over the weekend. #dominicanwriters #ownedvoices #dignidadliteraria #latinowriters #nyc #escritoresdeinstagram (at Boogie Down Bronx) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8IMVF5p0R5/?igshid=1m59dlgp7zpsl
