Fall of Freedom Open Mic

An independently organized open mic hosted at Pennington’s. You’re invited to read a brief original work, or a favorite piece of someone else’s writing, on the theme described below.

Fall Of Freedom is an urgent call to the arts community to unite in defiance of authoritarian forces sweeping our nation. Our Democracy is under attack. Threats to free expression are rising. Dissent is being criminalized. Institutions and media have been recast as mouthpieces of propaganda.
