Stop book bans. Defend democracy.

Republicans' latest descent into fascism has unleashed a chilling obsession – the banning of books!

From the school boards to the halls of Congress, Republicans are banning books that feature characters of color, LGBTQ+ folks, or anything else that does not fit into their narrow worldview.

It's no secret that books are a vital tool for education, empowering our society and ensuring a functioning democracy. These book bans are more than an affront to our students' First Amendment rights, they are an affront to our very democracy.

We need a Democratic House majority that will uplift our democracy, not tear it down. Will you donate to help secure that majority and make a difference?

Here's the kicker – the majority of these book bans are from complaints from just eleven people. Hundreds of thousands of students are losing access to books because of eleven people.

That's not democracy.

Republicans seem perfectly fine with allowing this vocal minority to dictate what our students can read. They're more interested in appeasing this fringe group than in upholding our democracy. The truth is that the majority of Americans do not support book bans or censorship.

It's time to come together and push back against this fascism. Republicans have made gains, but we won't sit back and let them run the show. Will you donate $3 and help fuel our resistance?

Together we can ensure democracy thrives, and our students have the access they deserve.

Yours in the fight,

Jim
