Activists will conduct a 24-hour [1] marathon live reading of all publicly released Jeffrey Epstein files in New York City this Monday [2].
The event seeks to bring public attention back to the legal proceedings and victims associated with the late financier. By reading the documents aloud in a public space, organizers intend to make the complex files more accessible to the general public.
Mary Corcoran, a co-founder of the Save America Movement, is among the activists organizing the event [1]. The reading will take place at an art exhibit that currently houses the released Epstein files [1].
Organizers said the goal of the marathon is to discuss the latest developments in the Epstein case. The event is designed to ensure the details of the case remain in the public consciousness through a sustained, collective effort, a method intended to prevent the documents from being ignored or forgotten.
The marathon will run for 24 hours [1], with participants reading through the extensive volume of publicly available records. This approach transforms the legal documents into a performance of public record, utilizing the art exhibit's space to highlight the intersection of law, power, and accountability.
Because the files contain sensitive information regarding sexual abuse and minors, the event is focused on the publicly released versions of the documents [1]. The activists said the reading is a necessary step in the pursuit of transparency and justice for the victims.
“Activists will conduct a 24-hour marathon live reading of all publicly released Jeffrey Epstein files.”
This event represents a shift toward grassroots 'citizen auditing' of legal documents. By moving the files from digital databases to a live, physical reading, activists are attempting to bypass the ephemeral nature of online news cycles and force a sustained public confrontation with the evidence of systemic abuse and high-level complicity.
