Join us for a discussion of the historically-banned book 1984 by George Orwell. A speaker will read excerpts from the novel, we will have a group discussion of the common themes between the book and current threats to our rights, and then ACLU staff will explain ways you can help protect our freedoms in Rhode Island. You’ll leave the event with a packet of resources and tools to take action! This event is free and open to all, registration is required.

You do not have to read 1984 in advance, but we encourage you to get a copy from your local library or bookstore or to watch a film adaptation prior to the event.

In collaboration with the Rhode Island Library Association.

This event is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Cranston Public Library.
