On January 15, 2017, writers across the globe came together for WRITERS RESIST, a “re-inauguration” of our shared commitment to the spirit of compassion, equality, free speech, and the fundamental ideals of democracy. Versal, in collaboration with Butcher's Tears, Structo Magazine, Stichting Reckoning, and a group of local activists, organized the Amsterdam edition, raising funds for Wij Zijn Hier (We Are Here), an organization that represents refugees in Amsterdam who are at the end of the procedural lines and have nowhere left to go. The pieces that were read on that night were published in a special Versal printed edition, called Louder Together. I adjusted a piece I had initially written for the kick-off of the Dutch We Can Campaign (a global campaign to fight violence against women).
