A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

Supporter,

Across the nation far-right activists have been infiltrating school boards
and public libraries in an attempt to rid bookshelves of content that
doesn’t align with their extremist agenda. And for months, People For has
fought back against these efforts by calling attention to them on a
national level, and deploying resources to empower advocates in local
communities to defeat these attacks.

At People For, we believe that literature has the power to inspire,
challenge, and change the world. That's why we're thrilled to announce the
launch of our Banned Book Week Reading Challenge, and we invite you to be
a part of this exciting initiative starting October 1.

today to participate! >>

Every book you read during the challenge gives you one “point,” and points
can be traded in for free “Grandparents For Truth” swag!

Here’s How You Can Join the Challenge:

 1. [ [link removed] ]Sign up for the challenge.
 2. Pick a banned book from our banned book reading list.
 3. Submit a photo or video of you reading the banned book – alone, to a
grandchild, or with friends. If you post it to social, make sure you
tag us (we’re @peoplefor on Twitter/X and Facebook and @peoplefor_ on
Instagram) and use the hashtag #bannedbooks2023.
 4. Each photo or video you submit or tag us in is worth one point. Rack
up points to get free Grandparents For Truth swag like t-shirts,
bookmarks, water bottles, and more!
 5. Keep an eye on your inbox! At the end of October, we’ll reach out to
you to see what items you’d like.

By participating in the Banned Book Reading Challenge, you'll not only
enjoy some remarkable literature but also take a stand for freedom of
expression and the power of ideas. Let's celebrate the authors who have
dared to challenge the status quo and the readers who continue to champion
their work.

We hope you’ll join us,
