Dear Friend,
Across America, from classrooms and schools to public libraries, books are
being challenged by far-right MAGA extremists who want to ban them.
[ [link removed] ]Make a pledge to protect books and say NO to book bans, and we’ll send
you a free READ BANNED BOOKS bookmark & a colorful sticker! (This way you
can also show your support of books — and help build a movement against
censorship — by putting a fun sticker on your water bottle, computer,
notebook, or other!)
What books are being pulled? Plain and simple, books about diverse
communities, history, and LGBTQ+ families and communities. These
coordinated attacks are NOT okay. Well-funded far-right politicians are
becoming a censorship machine actively working to ban age-appropriate
books, erase honest and accurate American history, and attack students and
teachers simply for who they love.
This is not freedom. Books have the power to transport us, transform us,
build empathy, avoid mistakes of the past, and teach us to be and do
things beyond our wildest imagination. [1,2] No person or group has the
right to take that away from our children.

The majority of parents want the freedom to make decisions for their
children and do not support book bans. In fact, libraries are most often
considered to be spaces that are safe for families, and especially,
children. [ [link removed] ] However, libraries across the nation have seen over 1,900
titles challenged since the start of the year. [ [link removed] ] Censoring libraries
only strips parents of their right to decide which books are appropriate
for their children. We must protect books and preserve our freedom to
choose.

BANNED BOOKS bookmark & a colorful sticker! With your sticker you can show
your support of books — and help build a movement against censorship — in
a fun way by putting the sticker on your water bottle, computer, notebook,
or other.
The more of us who pledge to stand for books and against bans, who use and
share stickers that we're not for banning books, the more powerful we are
together. So please [4]share this link with friends and family — and on
your social media.
Thank you so much for all you do - together we are powerful and together
we will WIN!
