ONWARDS

Are you a displaced writer, artist, journalist, cultural worker, human rights defender, or scholar living in the United States? Are you trying to find a stable situation after your current arrangement is over? You are not alone! The Opportunity Network for At-Risk Writers, Artists, Rights Defenders, and Scholars (ONWARDS) is a collaborative effort by civil society groups designed to help you take the next steps in your life and career. Take advantage of free online workshops, meetups, and resource lists. ONWARDS also maintains this page on LinkedIn and administers a private LinkedIn group. ONWARDS is a project of the US Protection Group for Cultural Rights Defenders (CRDs) and Human Rights Defenders (HRDs). It is coordinated by Ithaca City of Asylum, a project of the nonprofit Center for Transformative Action, and supported by Cornell University’s Scholars Under Threat Initiative, part of Global Cornell.
