🪞 In 2024, we've accomplished a lot at Brink and F(r)iction. We couldn't have done it without the support of our #readers, our #contributors, our #volunteers, and all the folks who helped fund our mission. Thank you for your support! We are excited to do great things in 2025!

Literacy is a bridge to dignity, opportunity, and meaningful connection. For the 130 million Americans facing the barriers of illiteracy, learning to read can open doors. That’s where @BrinkLitProject steps in, working with marginalized communities to find their voices.
