Stand Up to Book Banning


Keynote Speaker: Senator Mark McKenny (Bill Sponsor)

 

Attempts to restrict access to information are being made nationwide. We are supporting the passage of a bill to protect the integrity of libraries, librarians, teachers and schools. Rhode Island libraries and public schools have a cherished legacy of being inclusive and unencumbered by sectarian ideology. We need your help to ensure that the legacy continues. 

 

Learn about:

β€’      how a bill becomes a law in Rhode Island

β€’      who represents you in the Rhode Island General Assembly

β€’      what tools for advocacy are effective in Rhode Island 

β€’      being a voice from the religious community

β€’      Book Banning and Freedom to Read β€” the problem and the solution.
