Who we are

PEN is a national non-profit organization of grassroots activists dedicated to educating the public about Paganism and building stronger communities. We are one of the most progressive organizations in America, taking creative steps to claim Pagans’ constitutional rights to freedom of worship and manifest a healthier culture.

Our activists across the nation work within their local communities to achieve our common goals.  Both public and private Pagans can join us as members.

Grove membership is for groups.  Groves educate the public (on whatever scale) and support community-building (in whatever way).  A grove may consist of any number of members provided those members all reside within the same general area.

We take steps to protect the anonymity of our members so that Pagans in any circumstances can join PEN and support our work.  We do not share out membership list.

What we do

PEN members make a difference!  Here are some of the ways you can get involved:

• Write educational letters to the editors of local papers and provide brochures at gatherings and libraries
• Be as active as possible in local Pagan communities
• Educate family and friends about Paganism
• Support the larger Pagan community through letter-writing, monetary donations, and ritual activities
• Build stronger communities through activities such as carpooling, babysitting, and organizing block parties
• Send educational materials on Paganism to media representatives
• Volunteer with service organizations such as soup kitchens, literacy programs, and community housing programs
• Join other religious and civil rights groups to promote First Amendment freedoms and an appreciation of diversity
• Make presentations on Paganism to law enforcement officials, mental health workers, religious groups, education professionals, and the general public

You may participate in any of these ways as a member of PEN.  The home office and issues of Water will give advice and suggestions to help you.  Our philosophy is “do what you can, when you can.”  No matter how small your contribution, you can make a difference.
