Community Reinvestment

(Funders, Donors, Institutional Partners)

​

WE Publishing reinvests resources as a matter of equity and recognition. Our work honors communities that have endured systemic injustice while remaining self-determined, resilient, and culturally generative. These communities carry deep legacies of artistic, musical, literary, and poetic expression—forms of knowledge that have long sustained collective life and imagination.

​

Reinvestment affirms what already exists. It recognizes creative brilliance, intellectual depth, and cultural continuity, and supports the amplification, circulation, and sustainability of voice, authorship, and artistic work.

​

 WE Publishing reinvests resources into communities through:

• youth creator stipends and authorship support

• cultural programming and public humanities work

• family and community support grounded in dignity and stability
