Dear John,
Free expression is under real and growing threat in 2025.
Across the country, we’re seeing an unprecedented wave of book bans, educational censorship, artistic silencing, propaganda, and the targeting of political dissent.
Nearly every institution that upholds our free expression values—libraries, schools, museums, media, law firms, non-profit organizations, and campuses—is at risk.
But your donation this Giving Tuesday can turn muzzles into megaphones.
The National Coalition Against Censorship assists students, artists, teachers, curators, writers, activists, and librarians working to defend free expression in their communities.
Will you help?
Your generosity today will train young readers, librarians, parents, and teachers through our Right to Read Network;
Your support will give artists, curators, and arts institutions the tools needed to resist, including direct advocacy, model resources, and curatorial workshops;
Your contribution will give voice to those who have been targeted with “friend of the court” briefs throughout the year;
Your donation will convene the Free Expression Network, our collective of free expression experts who provide legal strategy, tools, and services to the media, policymakers, scholars, and the public at large that counter fear and silence;
And your gift will empower the next generation of free expression advocates through our Student Advocates for Speech program.
Will you give generously this Giving Tuesday? Your donation will turn this year’s muzzles into megaphones.
As 2025 comes to a close, thank you for standing with us in the fight for freedom of thought—it is the cornerstone of our democracy.
Yours in liberty,
Lee Rowland
Executive Director
