People For the American Way Foundation.

Friend,

Banned Books Week is here, and it's a time to celebrate the freedom to read while fighting back against efforts to censor content in our classrooms and libraries. Across the country, books are being pulled from shelves, and students are being denied the chance to explore diverse perspectives and stories that reflect the world we live in.

The freedom to learn is essential to a thriving, informed society. When books are banned, we're not just silencing authors, we're limiting students' ability to engage with ideas that foster critical thinking, empathy, and creativity. That's why we need to fight back against these growing efforts to restrict access to knowledge.

You can show your support for the freedom to read by grabbing some of our special Banned Books Week merchandise! Every purchase helps People For the American Way fight for open access to books and educational materials. Whether it's a bold tote bag, a classic tee, or a mug for your morning coffee, each item promotes the importance of diverse voices in our libraries and classrooms.

Zach, People For the American Way Foundation
