We're joining forces with mothers across the country who are fighting against several proposed censorship measures across the United States as well as hundreds of attempts to ban books in school libraries.
These books are most often being banned based on the race of the author or based on extremist hatred for America's LGBTQ community.
Encouraged by far right extremist scam PACs, politicians in state legislatures across the country have filed bills banning books in order to dictate what you and your family are allowed to read.
These bills are detrimental to our students education. If enacted, these bills will make it difficult for educators and school librarians to do their jobs and in some cases would encourage the incarceration of librarians just for doing their jobs.
Nearly every one of these draconian measures is aimed at keeping you or your family members from being allowed to read books by authors that legislators and extremists disagree with.
Never has a government banned books and arrested librarians that was on the right side of history.
At EveryLibrary we have been tracking state legislation, monitoring these dangerous bills, and fighting back by launching petitions, PR campaigns, and partnering with local advocacy organizations while providing funding and support to advocates on the ground.
If you're a mother who cares about ensuring that your children are allowed to freely read and access materials at your library, please sign the petition today.
