| Hey JOHN, I hope you had a restful weekend. I’m bumping this message my team sent a few days ago because this moment is too important to let slip by. This week — October 5–11 — is Banned Books Week, a reminder that the freedom to read and learn is under attack in classrooms and libraries across the country. We need your voice. Add your name to our petition today to show you stand with public schools against censorship, book bans, and extremist attacks. ADD YOUR NAME → Thank you for standing with us.

JOHN, For years, Moms for Liberty has claimed they fight for “liberty” — but in reality, they fight against the very freedoms our children need to learn and grow. But something’s shifting, and their influence is eroding, and communities are waking up to their agenda. Last year, we endorsed school board candidates across the country — and nearly 80% won their races. Communities are rejecting extremism and choosing leaders who believe in public schools, academic freedom, and the future of our kids. Now, as we head into the 2025–26 elections, we need to keep this momentum up. School boards are the front line of democracy — and if we don’t protect them, extremists will. That’s why we’re launching a petition to show local school boards, state officials, and the nation that Americans overwhelmingly support public education, truth in teaching, and freedom to learn. ADD YOUR NAME → Join thousands of parents, educators, and allies who are standing together to defend our schools. Together, we’ll stop the book bans, protect teachers, and ensure every child has the chance to thrive. Every name shows that families and communities are united for schools that teach truth, embrace diversity, and prepare students for the future. Will you add your name to show support for public education? ADD YOUR NAME → — Educated We Stand Paid for by Educated. We Stand.
