Above: “Chessmen” by Max Nicholas Niemeier

Dear LIT Readers,

As all of you are aware, protests have been taking place here in New York City and across the globe. The pain our nation is experiencing now is one we have experienced many times before. It has become clear, once again, that the time to act is now.

We are all part of a community that actively celebrates diversity and the pursuit of justice, which is why LIT Magazine has decided to postpone our pitching salon in solidarity with the protesters and activists who are marching on Washington and in cities nationwide.
