Dear Friend,
Since 2021, PEN America has tracked more than 16,000 instances of book bans in public schools, and seen 47 pieces of legislation passed in 23 states designed to restrict what can be taught and discussed in both K-12 and college classrooms.
The effects are staggering. Works by thousands of authors and illustrators have been removed from shelves; students have been denied access to diverse perspectives; and public education itself has come apart at the seams.
That’s why at PEN America we’re intensifying our efforts to fight this latest campaign of censorship. Leveraging our expertise in reporting and data collection, coalition building, mobilizing writers and their allies, and mounting legal challenges, we’re building a robust defense of free expression to combat these rollbacks and threats on every front.
This urgent work requires urgent funding. From now until the end of the year, a generous donor has offered to match every gift up to $65,000. Donations made today will set us up for the fight ahead in 2025.
Donate today and double your impact [[link removed]]
