Hilarie Burton Instagram – Hey! What are you doing October 11th??
The correct answer is dropping everything and getting to @bardavonpresents in Poughkeepsie to help me celebrate the @eleanorrooseveltcenter Banned Book Awards, presented by @penamerica .
I can’t tell you what an honor it is to be invited to share the stage with these celebrated writers. The banning of books has skyrocketed in recent years, and it is more important than ever that we create a vocal and visible resistance to censorship and oppression.
With a keynote being given by @jenniferfinneyboylan and @therealmargaretatwood (I am freaking out !) in attendance to receive a lifetime achievement award, I am so looking forward to these conversations and messages of hope and commitment to freedom.
Support for @penamerica is vital in our fight against censorship. So get your tickets on their website and come participate in an evening of rebellion, mischief and bravery. 📕📗📘📙
