Books are being banned at a record pace, according to the American Library Association.

The objectionable material?

Books like “Ruby Bridges Goes to School”, a picture book for children that recounts Ruby Bridges’ story as the first Black student at an all-white New Orleans school when she was just 6-years old.

White Christian Nationalist groups like “Moms for Liberty” believe the story of Ruby Bridges presents a “narrow and slanted obsession on historical mistakes” which reveal “a heavily biased agenda, one that makes children hate their country, each other, and/or themselves.”

Segregation was much more than a simple mistake. And books like Bridge’s present a fuller, important picture of our nation and its history–one today’s students must learn. But school boards are buckling under the bullying, intimidation, and death threats, even preemptively removing books to avoid conflict.

Will you contribute $10, $15, or $25 to help defend secular elected officials on school boards and throughout the government who are fighting back against this racist campaign to rewrite our history? >> [link removed]

Your donation helps us to defend secular champions in Congress like Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who just last week held a hearing on banned books and asked Ruby Bridges to testify.

While right-wing zealots hope to shut down authors like Bridges, our allies in Congress like Raskin are elevating their voices and actively pushing back on this dangerous and misguided effort to white-wash our nation’s history.

But with hundreds of challenges across the country being waged against school boards by Christian Nationalists, we’ve got our work cut out for us.

Please help support our work to defend secular officials who are on the frontlines, facing down White Christian Nationalists' racist and bigoted crusade. >> [link removed]

Thanks for all you do.
