Dear MoveOn member,

LeVar Burton spent more than 20 years sharing his love for reading on
"Reading Rainbow" and now has teamed up with MoveOn to fight the alarming
rise in censorship and book bans.

These bans, pushed by MAGA politicians and far-right political groups like
Moms for Liberty, prevent young people from learning about themselves and
their own identities, shut down discussion, blot out empathy and
understanding, and conceal America's history.^1

We cannot become a country of censorship and book bans.

That is why, just in time for spring T-shirt season, we're bringing back
the very special T-shirt we made in collaboration with LeVar Burton. But
supplies are limited, and it's MoveOn's bestselling shirt in our 25-year
history, so hurry to get yours now.

MoveOn teamed up with LeVar Burton last year, and together we've been at
the forefront of fighting the sharp rise in book bans in libraries and
schools across the country.

Thanks to support from MoveOn members like you, MoveOn launched a
nationwide Banned Bookmobile tour through more than a dozen states last
year, handing out thousands of banned books—for free—and energizing
voters.^2 And stay tuned—we'll have updates on the next phase of our
Banned Bookmobile tour soon!

Nearly 500,000 MoveOn members have signed our petition calling for an end
to book bans across the United States.^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 just in time for the spring
weather!

Dozens of authors and entertainers—including Rosario Dawson, Rita Moreno,
Andy Cohen, and Margaret Atwood—have already gotten theirs.

And, 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 book bans and building a country where
everyone can thrive.

Want to support MoveOn's work? The MAGA movement's book bans have forced
teachers and librarians across the country to remove books from their
shelves and censor what young people can learn. MoveOn is fighting back,
including by filling a "Banned Bookmobile" with books that the far right
has banned and driving it to key cities and towns to raise the visibility
of book bans, hand out banned books for free, and bring people together to
stop censorship. To keep up the fight against book bans and the MAGA
politicians who support them, we need your help.

Will you make a gift to power MoveOn's critical work?



[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in.
