Dear fellow MoveOn member,
News flash: If you ban books and censor what educators can teach, outlaw
abortions, and stop people from voting, you're not the party of "limited
government."
Do you know the real reason MAGA extremists are banning books and
censoring educators? Because the biggest threat to the Republican Party is
a multiracial democracy of young people unafraid to speak truth to power.
That's Generation Z.
By 2028, millennials and Gen Z will dominate U.S. elections.^1 They'll
have the power to wipe out the old guard and usher in a wave of
progressive policies.
Which is why the GOP is trying to suppress K-12 education now.
That's what's really at stake here. And, John, it's up to us to
ensure that the next generations learn the full truth about our nation's
past and build a multiracial coalition powerful enough to enact
transformational change.
And that's why I just love MoveOn's Banned Bookmobile, which has been
traveling from state to state to fight book bans and censorship, while
celebrating the freedom to learn and to read.
Will you join me in starting a monthly gift of $5 to keep
MoveOn's Banned Bookmobile on the road and to power MoveOn's campaigns to
fight back against MAGA extremism?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
MoveOn's Banned Bookmobile Tour started in Florida and now has been to
Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Georgia—including a stop in the hometown of Toni Morrison,
the celebrated author whose books "Beloved" and "The Bluest Eye" are among
the ones most frequently banned by MAGA extremists.
MoveOn has been partnering with local bookstores and educators,
librarians, community leaders, and activists. They're giving out thousands
of banned books, raising awareness about MAGA book bans through extensive
media coverage of the tour, and bringing hope to communities that,
together, we will not allow MAGA extremists to censor our books, whitewash
our history, silence our librarians, and punish our teachers.
The Banned Bookmobile traveled back to Florida yesterday for an event in
the state capitol. And, right now, that's the end of MoveOn's tour!
But I heard from the MoveOn team this week, and, if they raise the
resources, they will absolutely extend the tour and keep the Banned
Bookmobile on the road.
MoveOn relies on grassroots donations to fund all they do, so it's up to
us. Will you join me in rushing a monthly gift of $5 to
extend and sustain MoveOn's Banned Bookmobile Tour and keep fighting MAGA
extremism?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? Book bans have skyrocketed thanks to
right-wing state laws which have forced teachers to remove books from
their classrooms. In response, MoveOn is launching a "Banned Bookmobile,"
filling it with books that the far right has banned, and driving it around
to hand out those books, for free, in highly trafficked areas that will
attract media attention. To keep the Banned Bookmobile up and running into
2024, MoveOn needs your help.
Will you start a monthly gift to power MoveOn's critical work?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Contributions are used for MoveOn’s general purposes.
