It would have been 4 yrs working for NYWC at the end of August. Beyond grateful for the time I got. Beyond worried about the state of (arts) nonprofits in this country. Thank you to every writer who called us a home. We loved being one. 💙

A devastating loss. NYWC was a lifesaving outlet during the pandemic for this essential worker. You will be greatly missed 😔💔

This is a heartbreaker. There simply wasn’t the financial support. Individuals didn’t give often or enough. Corporates didn’t give often or enough. Me too. You too maybe? And it was down home enough org that they weren’t trying to have the hippest party in town. Sigh.

I was a group leader with NYWC in the aughts and this breaks my heart. A towering institution that did so much good work. 💔
