Banned Books Week Event: Discussing "1984" and How We Protect Our Freedoms

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.
