Calling on All Freedom-Loving Americans

PEN America is proud to be a staunch defender of the precious liberties and freedoms -- especially the freedom of speech -- that undergird the foundation of our democracy. As we prepare for yet another school year overshadowed by book bans, educational censorship, and intimidation of educators, we stand ready to document, expose, and fight against threats to free speech.

Our groundbreaking research, our thought leadership and expertise, and even our ability to fight these threats in court are all possible due to support from people like you.

Extremists who oppose the freedom to read are organizing for more intense removal of books by, about, and for people of color and those in the LGBTQ+ community. Join us in defending the right of every student to see themselves in the stories they read. Together, we can defeat the censorial forces who threaten our First Amendment rights.
