Martha Hickson & Special Guest Daniel Handler at Bayard Rustin Center For Social Justice in Princeton NJ
Sunday, September 18, 2022 - 1:00PM to 2:30PM EST
Honored to welcome award-winning librarian Martha Hickson to our BRCSJ HQ to enlighten us about the state of censorship & what YOU can do to defend the right to read (& with a very special guest appearance by Daniel Handler, AKA Lemony Snicket!)
In schools & libraries around the country, extremists are attempting to ban books & trample students’ First Amendment right to read. In a discussion designed to educate, aggravate, & activate, Martha will deliver the latest news on censorship, share the strategies she used to fight back here in NJ, & provide you with tips & tools to keep free people reading freely.
As the extraordinary Martha sez her own self, "Defending the right to read is not a one-person job. The Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice, with its commitment to diverse voices & safe spaces, is the perfect ally for libraries & by partnering with the Center, we will fight the Ed Scare affecting our schools, libraries, & the greater community."
Join BRCSJ Community Liaison Martha & Chief Activist Robt Seda-Schreiber in a community-buildin' conversation that promises to be equally empowerin' & entertainin'
