Know Your Right to Read Banned Books Event
We have the right to learn – free from censorship and discrimination. Join us for a reading and conversation about books that have been banned by local governments. You’ll be able to highlight your favorite banned book, share space with other community members concerned with these issues, and enjoy fun surprises while supplies last. This event is free and open to the public.
These events are part of a national bus tour to make sure voters know their rights and have a plan to vote. It will be an energizing community experience that combines entertainment and surprises with critical information about our most fundamental rights. There will be three events in Georgia - we hope to see you at one of them!
