Join us this Saturday, October 19th for a screening of Banned Together, the first documentary feature about fighting book bans in the U.S. Tickets are free but you must reserve your seats in advance. A diverse cast of visionary teenagers, stirring public protests, private threats, criminal charges, and drama-filled school board meetings: this is the explosive world of Banned Together. PFLAG National is proud to be a major presenter of this film that follows three students as they fight to reinstate 97 books suddenly pulled from their school libraries. As they evolve from local to national activists the film reveals the dark forces behind the accelerating wave of book bans in the U.S. Banned Together pulls back the curtain on two of the most controversial issues in America today: book bans and curriculum censorship in public schools. Join us for this FREE screening, followed by a panel discussion with the filmmakers and special guests: Brian Bond, CEO, PFLAG National Kasey Meehan, PEN America Matt Nosanchuk, U.S. Dept of Education Josh Malkin, ACLU |
