The Intellectual Freedom Round Table (IFRT) provides a forum for the discussion of activities, programs, and problems in intellectual freedom of libraries and librarians.
The IFRT Members Community group is the central hub for discussion, library and events. It is visible to all ALA members but only IFRT members can participate in the conversation.

On April 7, the Social Responsibilities Round Table of the ALA held a dialogue with Palestinian and Israeli peace activists, Osama Iliwat and Iris Gur from the binational organization, Combatants for Peace. Their presentations and their responses to questions from the audience of librarians and educators were powerful and moving. Iliwat, Gur and the Combatants for Peace represent the voices of reason, empathy and peaceful coexistence that give us hope in these horrifying times. Below is the video link:
