#bannedbookweek — Public Fediverse posts

Pledge to Protect the Freedom to Read

Books open doors to new ideas, voices, and perspectives. But across the country, more and more books are being challenged, censored, or banned. This silences the stories that shape us and denies our communities the chance to learn and grow.

Stand up for every readers right to read and access every story.

This pair of buttons are both anti-banning books! The first was part of the promotion for a #bannedbookweek exhibit where I work, and the second came from #SXSWEDU where the #africanamericanpolicyforum had a booth to tell folks about banned books and give some away. #readbannedbooks #aapf #buttons #collecting #collection
