The National Coalition Against Censorship, in partnership with the Vera List Center at the New School and the School of Visual Arts, is organizing a series of programs that highlight the effects 1990s attacks on culture continue to have on art and society. The programs include panel discussions, film screenings and event-specific videos. RSVP Here!

The Free Speech Leadership Council gathered on June 23, 2010 for “Playwrights on Censorship: A Conversation with Edward Albee, David Henry Hwang, Terrence McNally, and Adam Rapp.” Time Out New York’s Theater Editor David Cote moderated the discussion and Jane Friedman hosted the event in her Manhattan home.

On Friday, June 11 at 6:00pm, at Barnes & Noble in NYC, the Vineyard Theatre presents a discussion on censorship and literature. Using Adam Rapp's personal experience as a starting point, Joan E. Bertin, Brett Gary and Mr. Rapp himself, with moderator Jeremy McCarter, will discuss the larger implications of censoring literature both in the classroom and beyond. The panel discussion is being presented in conjunction with Vineyard Theatre's world premiere production of Adam Rapp's play THE METAL CHILDREN.

Every year NCAC salutes the contributions of Jonathan Lang and celebrates his birthday as he would have done – at the ballpark.

Matthew Sottile and Dawson Burke of Connecticut will “Bike for Progress.” On April 5, 2010, the two high school friends will begin their trans-America journey, cycling from Baltimore, Maryland to Canon Beach, Oregon in support of free speech.

Svetlana Mintcheva, Director of Programs at NCAC, will be present at the NewFilmmakers Spring Fest screening on April 3, to discuss film, art, nudity, censorship and the internet.
