Hi JOHN,

It’s Banned Books Week. Book bans across the country pose an imminent threat to children’s education — and to our democracy itself.

When extremists fear the power of truth, they try to silence it. Across the nation, far-right activists are targeting libraries, classrooms, and teachers — erasing stories by LGBTQ+ people, people of color, and anyone who challenges their narrow worldview.

When they claim bans are about "protecting the children", we all know it's really about controlling them and whitewashing American history.

Educated We Stand is pushing back. We’re organizing and electing pro-public education champions who will protect the freedom to read, teach, and learn.

Can you chip in $10, $25, or whatever you can today to help us fight back against extremist censorship?

Every child deserves access to the full story — not one rewritten by fear.
