<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Display",sans-serif">This webinar examines the current landscape of attacks on intellectual freedom and the impacts of coordinated censorship campaigns. We'll analyze the role of
moral entrepreneurs, including organized advocacy groups and bad faith social media influencers. We'll explore the historical context of how moral panics operate to limit access to reading materials and confine intellectual freedom. Understanding this history
helps us respond more effectively in today’s environment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

impact on marginalized staff.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
