Friend, Senate Republicans are firing attacks on Pennsylvania’s public education from all cylinders. Now, they’re trying to pass a DeSantis-style book ban in our public schools:
SB 7 is a violation of students' free speech rights. It undermines our educators’ expertise to determine what content is appropriate for their students. And it would, as other states that have adopted similar books bans demonstrate, disproportionately ban books authored by LGBTQ+ writers and people of color.
Friend, this bill is about to head to the full Senate for consideration, and we cannot allow this ban to take effect. Please rush a contribution to ensure we keep book bans out of Pennsylvania and protect our students’ First Amendment rights.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.
Make no mistake: This bill isn’t about protecting our students — it’s about making our already underfunded public schools functionally inoperable so Republicans can privatize education.
I see right through their strategy, and I won’t let them strengthen their case for school voucher programs by hurting our public schools. Join my fight to stop this draconian book ban from becoming law by making a contribution of any amount today »
