Can you believe that in the year 2024 there are thousands of books being banned across America\u2014and that the number is growing fast? As right-wing activists take over school boards, authors are being harassed, teachers are being fired, and librarians are being threatened with staggering fines and even jail time.<\/span><\/div>\n
It\u2019s like we\u2019re being dragged back to the eighteenth century.<\/span><\/div>\n
It\u2019s time to take a stand against censorship and the unpopular book bans that are sweeping our country.<\/span><\/div>\n
The New Republic<\/em> is teaming up with PEN America and the American Library Association to stage a national Right to Read Day, where we\u2019ll unveil the ALA\u2019s Top 10 Most Challenged Books of 2024 and give the new Toni Morrison Courage Award to brave authors, teachers, and librarians on the front lines fighting book bans. All of this will be livestreamed across the country\u2014including in Florida, Texas, and other states where books are currently banned.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
But we can\u2019t do this without you! We need to raise $25,000 to celebrate our Right to Read and fight back against book banning.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Do you love books and understand how important they are in people\u2019s lives? Do you believe in the First Amendment and freedom of expression?<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Will you help us today?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
