What’s next for PEN in L.A.? Any upcoming forums readers, teachers and students can attend? Yes! Our NextGen Pen Initiative, which works to empower the next generation of free expression, advocates as a series of trainings throughout California this fall. Additionally we will be discussing book bans as part of the Building Bridges program at the Holocaust Museum of Los Angeles on Oct. 22. The event is free. We will also be participating in a panel discussion on book bans, censorship and citizenship at UC Irvine on Oct. 25. This event is also free.
