On December 8th, join PEN America, ABA, NY AABB, and NYCLU as we stand together for our right to read. It’s time for Governor Hochul to sign S1099, New York’s Freedom to Read Act, a bill that would protect and uphold students’ freedom to access books, stories, and histories in schools.
Stories and histories about marginalized people are being censored nationwide. NY’s Freedom to Read Act will strengthen school libraries’ protections against censorship, crucial for guaranteeing students the right to read. Join us!
