"A Fight for Our Rights: Youth Fighting Book Bans"

A Teen Watch Party and Discussion

Join us for an ALA webinar featuring youth advocates from across the country discussing how book bans affect them and how they are defending the freedom to read. Stay afterward for a brief discussion.

Celebrate Banned Books Week with a Teen Advisory Board–hosted watch party of the American Library Association (ALA) webinar "A Fight for Our Rights: Youth Fighting Book Bans." The program features Banned Books Week Youth Honorary Chair Iris Mogul and youth advocates from across the country sharing how censorship affects their lives and how they are working to protect the freedom to read.

Following the webinar, we will have a short discussion about intellectual freedom and ways teens can advocate for access to diverse books in their schools and communities.
