Across the country, politicians are trying to decide what Americans are allowed to read. Books are being pulled from school shelves, challenged in public libraries, and targeted for removal not because they lack value, but because they tell stories that some officials find uncomfortable. That is not how a free society works.
The freedom to read is a cornerstone of our democracy. Libraries and schools exist to provide access to knowledge, ideas, and perspectives from across the spectrum. When elected officials support book bans, they are not protecting children. They are limiting opportunity, silencing voices, and undermining the First Amendment.
Congress has the power to defend the right of every American to access books without political interference. But they need to hear from the people they represent.
Send a postcard to your Senators and Representatives today to ask them to support legislation that supports the right to read. Tell them you believe in the freedom to read. Tell them to oppose book bans in any form. Tell them that in America, we do not ban books.
