Tell Your Lawmakers to Oppose Censorship Bills!
At present, there are three national censorship bills now active in Congress, targeting federal education funding in ways that would impact schools’ book purchases and have ripple effects across the book industry. Collectively, these bills would restrict books discussing race and gender in vague terms that would ban an uncountable number of books.
Your US Representatives and Senators need to hear from you today!
Urge them to oppose HR 7661/S 4925, HR 8705, and HR 2616.
Please reach out to your lawmakers’ local district office to set up an in-person meeting to discuss how these bills would negatively impact the book industry. These meetings can be crucial while officials are on recess and before they return to Washington.
