This should be of interest. Pittsburgh PA is now home to a large housing, retail and studio space for writers who have become political dissidents of their native countries all paid for by state and private funding. We should work to help encourage the organizers there to bring about awareness to America's own jailed writers and thinkers such as rececntly released Jim Bell and still sitting in a cage Ross Ulbricht.
