Join us to hear firsthand from pediatrician Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha and former resident and mother Lee-Anne Walters, two essential voices and exceptional citizen activists who exposed the lead poisoning of Flint’s water supply and sounded the alarm on a grave public health crisis.

The 2016 PEN/Toni and James C. Goodale Freedom of Expression Courage Award winners will share their story about standing up to city and state officials, spearheading the campaign to clean up Flint’s water supply, and holding those responsible accountable. The conversation will feature Dorian Warren, Roosevelt Institute Fellow, and Barbara Raab, Program Officer, Creativity and Free Expression at the Ford Foundation, as the moderator. Suzanne Nossel, Executive Director of PEN America will offer introductory remarks. Read More »
