Here are some example messages to include in your postcard!

👉 Book bans are censorship, plain and simple. Every American deserves the freedom to read, learn, and think for themselves. Please stand up for intellectual freedom by opposing all efforts to ban or restrict books in schools and libraries. Protect our First Amendment rights and ensure that students and readers can access diverse ideas without fear or political interference.

👉 Book bans threaten our democracy and the freedom to think for ourselves. Schools and libraries should be places of learning, not censorship. Please reject any effort to remove or restrict books based on politics or ideology. Stand with educators, parents, and students in defending the First Amendment and protecting every American’s right to read and access information freely.

👉 Our democracy depends on open access to ideas. Book bans silence voices, erase history, and deny students the chance to learn and think critically. Please oppose all efforts to remove books from libraries and classrooms. Protect the freedom to read, support educators and librarians, and uphold the First Amendment values that keep our nation free and informed.

Tweets disappear. Emails get buried. But a postcard on a desk? That gets noticed.

Book bans are spreading across the country—silencing stories, undermining literacy, and attacking librarians for doing their jobs.

Many books bans are taking place through state legislation that criminalizes librarians, publishers, and punishes libraries.

But we know that the majority of Americans oppose censorship. That’s why your state legislators need to hear it from us, loudly and clearly.

Will you take two minutes to send a postcard to your elected officals and tell them to stand up to book bans and protect the freedom to read?
