[SCLA] Announcing Unite Against Book Bans Suffolk Group

[Peter Ward]

Our friends at the American Library Association (ALA) are organizing a
public campaign called Unite Against Book Bans to protect the rights of
everyone to access a variety of books. Like the ALA and the campaign’s
partner organizations, we trust individuals to make their own decisions
about what they read and believe.

 While a large majority of Americans are opposed to book bans, efforts to
ban books, especially in schools and libraries, are rising at an
unprecedented level across the country. The goal for the Unite Against Book
Bans campaign is to harness the energy of the large majority of Americans
that oppose book bans and empower them to use their voice in the public
arena to stop these efforts.

*How You Can Help*
 As a first step, we encourage you to join the campaign:
www.UniteAgainstBookBans.org. Once you’ve signed up, we encourage you to
write to your local school and/or library board to oppose book bans.. You
can also help spread the word to your friends and family. We also encourage
you to follow its social media handles on Facebook (Facebook.com/
UniteAgainstBookBans), Twitter (@UABookBans), and Instagram
(@UniteAgainstBookBans), as well as to like, retweet, and share their
content.

*Next Steps *
Over the following weeks and months, we’ll work to mobilize individuals and
organizations from across party lines to unite against book bans. This
fight is too big for any single group or person to forge alone, so we’re
grateful to have your support.
