🚨 Your calls are needed! Contact your federal Rep(s) to let them know you oppose this unconstitutional bill. My WY Rep is a co-sponsor, and I let her know that WY people don’t want the government to tell us what to read. Please reach out ASAP and spread the word! #fReadom #freepeoplereadfreely

Every human being presently "just following orders" &/or issuing illegal, unconstitutional orders should be charged in civil & criminal court, so they can face physical & fiscal consequences for their literal treason as defined by the U.S. Constitution.

I challenged myself to read (or re-read) one banned book for each day of Banned Book Week. I found joy, love, anger, hate- every aspect of humanity in these beautiful books. Every person deserves to see themselves reflected in books. #nocensorship #freepeoplereadfreely
Day 6: My favorite independent bookstore showcases banned books. So many amazing books! I picked “And Tango Makes Three” by Peter Parnell, Justin Richardson, and Henry Cole, a true story about two male penguins at the Central Park Zoo who adopt a baby penguin. #bannedbookweek #freepeoplereadfreely
Enjoyed a lovely drive to Des Moines and headed to the Brooklyn Public Library to celebrate #IntellectualFreedom and #FreePeopleReadFreely during an evening with the great @georgetakei.bsky.social.
Soliciting petitions and prayers for smooth and safe travels!! ☕️ 📚
Let’s do some good!

I was at the Printers Row Lit Fest in Chicago all weekend surrounded by the diverse crowd of thousands excited about knowledge and books and learning. The people who created this character would have HATED the positive vibe of the lit fest. #freepeoplereadfreely
Judge Lindsey Martinez, ruled to uphold the Freedom To Read Act today in @huntingtonbeach.bsky.social. 📚 Proof that not ALL judges have lost their minds. @everylibrary.bsky.social #freepeoplereadfreely #teensmatter #standforthebanned

They’re still at it and I’m still fighting back. 3 years running. I will never back down. Never. Ever.

U.S. Book Challenges Update: July 2025. Book bans are escalating across the U.S. but so is the resistance. From New Hampshire to Alabama, librarians, parents, students, and even psychologists are taking a stand to protect access to diverse stories. Illustration of U.S. map with markers of books on fire.
From closed-door school board votes to statewide directives, censorship efforts are growing bolder. But so is the pushback.
This month’s roundup tracks the latest book challenges and the people fighting to stop them.
