Dear MoveOn member,

This holiday season, MoveOn has the perfect gift for the progressives in your life: our special-edition LeVar Burton "Read Banned Books" T-shirt!

Our LeVar Burton T-shirt is MoveOn's bestselling shirt in our 25-year history. And dozens of authors and entertainers—including Rosario Dawson, Rita Moreno, Andy Cohen, and Margaret Atwood—have already gotten their T-shirts.

Now, you have the opportunity to gift your family and friends (or even yourself) this special-edition T-shirt. But hurry, you must claim your shirt by December 17 to ensure delivery by December 25.

For months, MoveOn and LeVar Burton have been at the forefront of fighting the sharp rise in book bans in libraries and schools across the country.

These bans, pushed by MAGA politicians and far-right political groups like Moms for Liberty, keep children from learning about themselves and their own identities, shut down discussions, blot out empathy and understanding, and conceal accurate American history.¹

That's why, thanks to support from MoveOn members like you, MoveOn launched a nationwide Banned Bookmobile tour through more than a dozen states, handing out thousands of banned books—for free—and energizing voters.²

Nearly 500,000 MoveOn members have signed our petition calling for an end to book bans across the U.S.³

And together, MoveOn and LeVar Burton led nearly 200 authors, artists, and creative leaders in writing an open letter against book bans.⁴

Now, you can join the effort by getting your loved ones (and yourself!) a special-edition "Read Banned Books" T-shirt as a holiday gift.

Remember, unlike at Amazon and other corporate retailers with harmful business practices and fat cat execs, at MoveOn your money will go directly toward our work fighting for justice and a country where everyone can thrive.

Click here to get your shirt today! Remember, you must claim your shirt by December 17 to ensure delivery by December 25.

Thanks for all you do.

–Elizabeth, Kelly, Emily, Oscar, 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, we need your help.

Will you chip in to power our critical work?

Yes, I'll chip in.
