🧵12/13: Here are a few orgs fighting the fight that can help you advocate & navigate the terrain toward free expression both locally & farther afield: @PENAmerica @EveryLibrary @ncacensorship @OIF @ACLU @FReadomFighters @FLFreedomRead @TXFreedomRead @LetUtahRead @UABookBans

There's great well-deserved buzz about "The Librarians", the doc that just premiered at Sundance. @LetUtahRead is sponsoring a free, private, pre-release screening of another anti-censorship doc., "Banned Together" on 2/13 at SLC Library. Register at: letutahread.org/events/banne…

"There’s never been a movie more vital this year than The Librarians. If you prize literature, intelligence, independent thought, safe spaces for children, it’s a necessary watch. Kim A. Snyder pours so much heart and respect for her subjects here. It’s a documentary that will make you angry, sad, and galvanized to do something. If anything, it will make you want to pick up a book and read." @letutahread thefilmmaven.substack.com/p/…

We can agree, disagree, and agree to disagree. We can't do any of this without a free exchange of ideas (and a little love & grace). Please push back against banning books. #utpol @UtahLibraries #BannedBooksWeek @LetUtahRead

First Amendment Rights?

Books like Damsel give our teens empathy, vocabulary, and awareness. It gives them language to understand things have could or have happened to them. If our teens put their phones down to read Damsel, we should commend them not punish them. @LetUtahRead

Damsel is one of the most powerful books I've ever read. It's imaginative and extraordinary and beautiful.

Definitely. I am so thankful to all our librarians. They are our first defense in readin & learning. Remember, it's our #FreedomToRead @ALALibrary @nypl @LAPublicLibrary @RightToReadTX @LetUtahRead @FLFreedomRead @MIRighttoRead @KidsRight2Read @dallaslibrary @UABookBans

Two Utah school districts dictating to a whole state what students can read. @LetUtahRead

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I'm thankful for my family and my #FreedomToRead books. #Thanksgiving @FLFreedomRead @RightToReadTX @LetUtahRead @ALALibrary @MIRighttoRead @UABookBans @RIFWEB @LtlFreeLibrary @KidsRight2Read @readingrainbow @FTRF @TXFreedomRead
