Special Action: Book Banning
Unite Against Book Bans
A small but vocal group is driving the current flood of book bans in school and public libraries across the country. It's important to counter those voices by uniting in support of the freedom to read in your local community. How can you and your community unite against book bans? We've put together this action toolkit to help you get started.
Support the Unite Against Book Bans campaign by using their comprehensive toolkit (Talking Points, Contact Decision Makers, Contact Media, Grassroots Organizing, Social Media Tools, Branded Materials).

PEN America
Books are under profound attack in the United States. They are disappearing from library shelves, being challenged in droves, being decreed off limits by school boards, legislators, and prison authorities. And everywhere, it is the books that have long fought for a place on the shelf that are being targeted. Books by authors of color, by LGBTQ+ authors, by women. Books about racism, sexuality, gender, history. PEN America pushes back against the banning of books and the intolerance, exclusion, and censorship that undergird it.
PEN America tracks all book bans in libraries and classrooms across the U.S. in our Index of School Book Bans, updated for the 2021-2022 school year.

Phone Bank to Combat Voter Purging
Combatting the Voter Purge in NC
The NC State Board of Elections purges voters from the registration files every odd-numbered year. Voters who are "purged," or removed, from the voter registration files are often unaware that this has happened until they try to go vote on election day and get turned away.
Join New Rural Project's phone bank calling voters who have been purged from the NC voter file to ensure they know they have been purged and give them information on how to re-register to vote.

Letter Writing
Writing letters is another impactful step you can take during an election cycle.Â
Write Letters To Wisconsin Voters
The Wisconsin State Supreme Court decides all kinds of important issues like what voting laws can be enacted, what legislative districts are fair, and what ballots can and can’t be counted. Wisconsin could very well decide the next presidential election, so the stakes are high for whoever wins the State Supreme Court elections this spring.
 Each letter we send delivers essential information and assistance to the voters most likely to be disenfranchised by Wisconsin’s strict voter ID laws.
