CWC STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY
|
We of the Clockhouse Writers Conference acknowledge that as a country, we are still arcing toward the fulfillment of liberty and justice for all, that the manifestation of this vision is yet incomplete.
We acknowledge our responsibilities as writers to educate ourselves, family, friends, and others. To speak out and write against racism, to give room and agency to those who know what needs to be done and humbly accept that we need to be honest and uncomfortable as we undertake courageous action together as a community. We will use our CWC community as a source of healing and hope.
Although we mostly write in solitude, we take up our pens and join our voices as a community to fervently affirm our commitment to racial justice. As writers, we hold as sacred our responsibility to the ongoing work of the creation of freedom for all. Words make worlds.
