The Freedom to Read Fund is a dedicated initiative to combat the escalating threats of book banning and censorship in schools, libraries, and public institutions. This fund supports our efforts to protect readers’ and writers’ rights, ensuring that diverse voices and stories remain accessible to all.

With your support, the Freedom to Read Fund empowers:

• Legal Advocacy: We challenge unconstitutional book bans and policies that restrict access to literature, standing up for the First Amendment rights of readers and authors alike.
• Education and Outreach: Through resources and public campaigns, we equip communities, educators, and librarians with tools to fight censorship and promote intellectual freedom.
• Support for Authors: We provide guidance and advocacy for writers whose works face bans or challenges, ensuring their stories continue to reach the audiences they were meant to inspire.

By contributing to the Freedom to Read Fund, you’re helping to uphold the values of free expression and intellectual curiosity—cornerstones of a thriving, democratic society. Together, we can preserve access to literature and defend the essential role books play in shaping informed, empathetic, and engaged citizens.
