Meet up with (and get free banned books from!!) the MoveOn Banned Bookmobile and hear from featured speakers like award-winning local author Jocelyn Nicole Johnson (“My Monticello”) and a variety of officeholders and candidates.
The Banned Bookmobile is on a national tour to highlight the terribly frightening and undemocratic attempts by extremist Republicans to ban books in schools and libraries nationwide; per WVTF and the Virginia Education Association, there have been 400 attempted book bans in Virginia this year as of September, and one public library almost closed due to efforts to ban LGBTQ content (but they fought and won that battle!).
