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 that support courageous people like you. We are honored to help you work and live in safety, but we know that when your fellowship, sponsorship, or residency is over, you will need to find a way to support yourself and your family.

That means navigating a complicated landscape of visas, job applications, emotional and financial stresses, health insurance options, and other challenges.

That’s why we’re pooling our resources to offer you free online workshops and resource lists to help you as you move onwards.

Please help make ONWARDS better by taking this survey!
