Dear John,
Recent state laws have supercharged book bans that aim to restrict the types of books in schools. Book bans have made national headlines due to recent efforts by Republican lawmakers and coordinated campaigns to ban stories by and about LGBTQ+ persons and people of color.
Sign the petition to protect LGBTQ books from book bans.
And as it turns out, in 2023, more than half of the most challenged books contained LGBTQ themes or characters.
Out of the top 10 targeted books in 2023, 7 of them were challenged for their LGBTQ content. Sign our petition today if you agree that we need to protect LGBTQ books from bans.
