Each month in-person events will be hosted in different locations in Florida.
All programs will also have a virtual portion through Floridians for Democracy.
February's event will be in Venice, for The Right to Read Festival: All Books For All People.
Florida is #1 in the nation in banned books! To highlight, educate and counter this undemocratic action, the Social Justice Alliance of the Florida Suncoast will hold a family-friendly Right to Read Festival on February 24, with local and national experts and writers speaking against book banning. Live entertainment and music on site from 10-4.
This is your opportunity to be a voice for democracy. If you can, come to the UU Congregation of Venice and be a part of something big. Help demonstrate that the majority of Floridians are not ready to give up our freedoms. We support parental involvement on behalf of what their children can read. We do NOT support others dictating to us what our children can read.
If you can't get to Venice, participate virtually (a Zoom link will be provided later). Get together with friends and host a watching party. Enjoy the camaraderie, have some snacks, and maybe write a few postcards while you're all together (see above Call to Action for info).
