Dear MoveOn member,
LeVar Burton, Rosario Dawson, Rita Moreno, Andy Cohen, and Margaret Atwood.
Those are just some of the A-list celebrities who are proudly wearing MoveOn and LeVar Burton's brand-new "Read Banned Books" T-shirt—in addition to the 8,500 MoveOn members who have already gotten theirs!
Will you join this very special (and viral!) effort to push back against book bans and censorship by getting your very own special-edition "Read Banned Books" T-shirt today?
"LeVar Burton Wants You to Read Banned Books." That's the headline of GQ's article from last week that included an interview with the literacy icon and MoveOn's Executive Director Rahna Epting.1
In it, GQ gives a shoutout to all of the incredible work MoveOn is doing. GQ writes:
"MoveOn has been at the forefront of the opposition to mass book bans. It has mobilized over 175 artists, authors, musicians, directors, and other community leaders to support this cause. And its traveling BookMobile has brought free copies of banned books to thousands of Americans."2
The article even features our brand-new T-shirt!
Join LeVar Burton, MoveOn, hundreds of celebrities, authors, and entertainers—along with countless MoveOn members across the country—who are fighting MAGA book bans and censorship by signing petitions, attending events, organizing friends and neighbors, reading banned books, and more.
Click here to get your "Read Banned Books" T-shirt today.
Thanks for all you do.
–Elizabeth, Mona, Kelly, Cheryl, and the rest of the team

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.
