SEND AN EMAIL: Support the Right to Read in the United States
In a moment when censorship is spreading rapidly, and school libraries remain dramatically under-resourced, this bill sends a clear message
Senator Jack Reed (RI) and Representative Adelita Grijalva (AZ-07) have introduced the Right to Read Act (H.R.6440 / S.3365), landmark legislation that invests in school libraries, strengthens literacy, and defends students' freedom to read.
The Right to Read Act would:
- Invest $600 million annually in literacy and school libraries
- Ensure more students have certified school librarians
- Expand access to diverse, engaging reading materials
- Defend First Amendment rights in school libraries
- Counter the nationwide surge in book bans
But a strong bill is only the first step. Congress needs to hear that the public expects action.
This session, you can help pass a law that could actually change the future of reading and literacy for millions of students.
Please take a moment to tell your Senators and Representative to support the Right to Read Act.
