Dear Friend,
Free speech is at stake this election season. But at PEN America, we have the power to make a difference no matter what happens. It will require concerted strategic efforts, and we need your support urgently.
With your generosity, PEN America can continue to lead this fight through our core work:
*
Documenting
the
Precipitous
Rise
in
Book
Bans
:
Through
our
meticulous
research,
we
have
tracked
the
number
of
book
bans
and
legislative
restrictions
on
the
freedom
to
learn
and
teach
throughout
the
country
*
Sharing
the
Facts
:
We
have
helped
shape
the
national
conversation
on
these
issues
and
marshaled
data
to
undergird
our
positions
*
Advocating
through
Coalition
Building
:
Through
sign-on-letters,
convenings,
working
with
Congress
and
local
elected
officials,
and
supporting
coalitions,
we
help
build
local
and
national
pressure
campaigns
*
Mounting
Legal
Challenges:
We
filed
a
federal
lawsuit
in
Escambia
County,
Florida,
arguing
that
removing
books
from
school
libraries
violates
students'
free
speech
and
equal
protection
rights,
setting
a
new
precedent
for
challenging
book
bans.
Donate today and help us continue to fight threats to free speech and shore up these crucial levers of our democracy.
