Donations support everything you care about at the Stowe Center for Literary Activism—especially the Stowe Center’s ability to inspire social justice and literary activism in the legacy of Harriet Beecher Stowe and all who advocate hope and freedom then and now. 

By donating today, you help the Stowe Center offer ongoing programing that facilitates civil discourse on difficult and important topics such as racial justice, gender inequities, and strategic resistance. 

Your donation continues the generous legacy of Katharine Seymour Day, Harriet’s grandniece, who rescued both Harriet Beecher Stowe’s and Mark Twain’s homes and helped to preserve them for future generations.

We could not do the important work we do without your support.
