For the first time ever, a massively intersectional coalition of civil rights, LGBTQ+, anti-surveillance, anti-book ban, racial justice, reproductive justice, immigration, labor, and antimonopoly nonprofits are calling for federal action on digital book bans & reader surveillance.

The way the world works has changed. Like it or not, people access information through computers and the internet far more often than they do through traditional brick-and-mortar venues. Digitization of these services is not only inevitable, but a boon to society.
