| JOHN, We needed to make sure you saw our email because we only have a few hours left to reach our $9,000 goal and we’re still short. We’re raising $9,000 to fight back against the 900 objections that one single Florida man in Clay County has raised against books in schools. This radicalism is a direct result of Moms for Liberty’s influence and Educated We Stand is here to fight back. Will you rush your donation before midnight to help us hit this goal and resist these book bans in Florida? Thank you for your support,

JOHN, Can you imagine one person deciding which books your child can read? In Florida, that’s not hypothetical—it’s reality. Bruce Friedman, the so-called "No. 1 book banner," has challenged more than 900 books in Clay County alone. Fueled by extreme laws championed by Governor DeSantis and advocated for by Moms for Liberty, Florida leads the nation in book bans. And not that it matters, these aren't just obscure titles—they include literary treasures like The Handut maid’s Tale and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. This effort is part of a broader attack on public education, targeting knowledge and diversity under the guise of “protecting children.” It’s already cost counties like Clay thousands of taxpayer dollars in resources to process these objections. Meanwhile, our kids lose access to stories that build empathy, critical thinking, and a broader worldview. We cannot let this stand. Educated We Stand is working to elect leaders who will stop these bans and put the power back in the hands of parents and educators—where it belongs. But to win this fight, we need your support. Our goal is to raise $9,000 by tomorrow night to fight back against these bans, and we’re asking you to pitch in and join us. The battle over books isn’t just about libraries. It’s about our values as a community. Let’s fight for a future where every student has the freedom to learn. If you’re with us, rush your donation right away > > > If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Thank you for standing with us,
