Banned Together: the Fight Against Censorship! pulls back the curtain on two of the most controversial issues in America today: book bans and curriculum censorship in public schools.

You will witness the evolution of three young women in their senior year of high school grow from local to national activists as they advocate at school board meetings, sit down with national politicians, famous authors, and constitutional scholars, and ultimately, speak on stage at the Right to Read Rally during the American Library Association’s annual conference in Chicago.

As we follow their activist journey, Banned Together illuminates the radical political forces vying for control of public education and the nationwide resistance to their efforts.

Join us for this private, pre-release film screening, followed by a moderated discussion. RSVPs required.
