Join the ACLU of Illinois, ACLU of Indiana, ACLU of Missouri, ACLU of Nebraska, and ACLU of Wisconsin for a virtual conversation as we discuss the wide range of censorship facing the Midwest, from book bans at the local level to statewide initiatives to censor and erase marginalized identities, and how you can play a role in activating your community to push back against book bans and other forms of content censorship.

Hear directly from:

• Rose Godinez, Legal Director, ACLU of Nebraska
• Justice Grau, Director of Community Engagement, ACLU of Wisconsin
• Angela Inzano, General Civil Liberties Policy and Advocacy Strategist, ACLU of Illinois
• Anthony Rothert, Director of Integrated Advocacy, ACLU of Missouri

This event will have live captioning and ASL interpretation.

In honor of Banned Book Week 2023, please join the ACLU of Wisconsin's Community Engagement team in partnership with UW-Milwaukee's Children's Learning Center, UW-Milwaukee's Student Parent Success Program, and UW-Milwaukee's Women's Resource Center for a book and story celebration.

We invite families to join us for a discussion on uplifting the voices, experiences and stories of characters/authors that are silenced through censorship while celebrating the richness and joy of community that is fostered through diversity of thought. Families will join us for a storytelling experience, guided dialogue with UWM educational professionals, and opportunities to connect with other families.
