PETITION: Don't Arrest Librarians for Professional Membership
Louisiana House Bill 777 would allow the state government to hunt down and arrest librarians for their professional memberships.
This bill proposes severe punitive measures, including fines and imprisonment, for those seeking to engage with or benefit from the ALA's offerings.
Legislating against a membership organization based on viewpoint is unconstitutional and unacceptable.
It violates the principle of free association, a cherished and protected right in our democracy.
