JOHN, what story do you want a young person to know?

Across the country, extremists are ripping hundreds of books off shelves — especially stories by and about Black, Brown, LGBTQ+, and other marginalized communities. They don’t want kids reading about empathy, identity, or real history.

So here’s a simple way to push back:

🎁 Gift a banned book to a young person in your life — and then chip in to help us keep those books on school shelves.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Censorship is their strategy. Community is ours. Educated We Stand is recruiting and supporting pro-public education school board candidates who will stop extremist book bans.

But this holiday season, let’s turn their banned book lists into reading lists — and build the power to stop the bans at the source.

Thank you,
Educated We Stand
