anonymous the undocumented the overworked and underpaid professionals some of whom we don t even grace with the status of professionals or pay them a living wage or take care of their health julia alvarez we will emerge awareness pen america launched we will emerge a collection of 111 short essays from writers and actors politicians and reporters artists and poets together urging readers to imagine a future beyond the current crises sparked by a conversation between wajahat ali and dave eggers the project asked participants to briefly respond to the prompt we will emerge and find a better way participants include chelsea clinton roxane gay julia alvarez min jin lee lynn nottage peter sagal ishmael reed jelani cobb reza aslan alyssa milano mayor michael tubbs maya wiley and dozens more there is no one way to understand how the multiple crises of our current moment will forge the future of this country said wajahat ali curator of the we will emerge project we designed this project with a sense of hope or perhaps a delusion that somehow we will emerge from this chaos we gave no set motives or restrictions on how to respond some entries are bleak some are fueled by righteous rage others are humbled and few imagine and prescribe how we can achieve a freer and more equitable future but all the contributions are grounded in the reality that there will be a day after our current crises and we all need to prepare and grapple with the once in a century lessons of a deadly pandemic our overdue reckoning over white supremacy and the deliberate attacks on our democracy we will emerge immerses readers in the thoughts and stirrings of some of the greatest thinkers of our current moment the digital experience is broken into chapters where the 111 contributions are categorized into five thematic categories that capture the connective threads among the dozens of contributions julia ioffe in the chapter of essays centered on awareness writes that we will emerge humbled and more respectful of science in the section on community and unity rep val demings quotes dr martin luther king in a real sense all life is interrelated another section of essays focuses on the themes of gratitude and empathy where gary shteyngart muses on culinary ambition we will emerge and be yummier challenging economic inequality mehdi hasan in the section on liberation writes we will emerge and be less forgiving imam abdullah antepli in the section on action calls for a more engaged democracy what if we all renew and significantly increase our ownership of our democracy and act accordingly a result of it we will emerge is an effort to think beyond our cascading crises and elevate insights that can point us toward a healthier more equal just and sustainable future said suzanne nossel ceo of pen america and author of dare to speak defending free speech for all these micro essays throw down gauntlets unmask truths and issue calls to action to take responsibility for the ways we ve failed one another recognizing that there is no panacea for all that ails our society these contributions collectively offer ideas pathways and building blocks
