YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Book bans may not be making front page headlines, but they are far from a thing of the past. From traditional bans in schools and libraries to quieter strategies like “shadow banning,” the movement to censor books is evolving in new and dangerous ways. These efforts are meant to intimidate educators, pressure publishers, and push authors toward self-censorship.

Join us to hear from experts at PEN America and authors whose books have been banned as we explore the current state of book banning, the new playbook of censorship, and the real impact on writers and readers alike. Most importantly, we’ll learn how to join the fight against book bans and protect the freedom to read.

Red Wine & Blue is a community of diverse suburban women working together to defeat extremism, one friend at a time. Join us
