Us either.
That's why we're proud to support Stephana Ferrell (interviewed in this segment) and the Florida Freedom to Read Project by providing them with a sophisticated website, funding for digital actions, and pro-bono consulting.
But it's not just happening in Florida.
Something similar is happening in states across the country as a loud minority of activists are trying to dictate what you and your family are allowed to read.
In fact, it's well documented that over 60% of book bans were enacted by just 11 people!
