A little thread about Project 2025's projected impact on book bans. The tldr? This is the most extreme, national level attack on our freedom to read we've ever seen.

TX Freedom to Read Project AuthorsAgainstBookBans This trope linking LGBTQ as child predators is an offensive message that has proliferated the last three years. How much harm is this doing to LGBTQ teens who are looking for acceptance? Our collection development policies must serve all our teen patrons.

With book bans on the rise in Massachusetts and nationwide, I'm grateful for the work AuthorsAgainstBookBans is doing to fight back. Congress must pass my #BooksSaveLives Act because everyone deserves to see themselves reflected in our literature. bostonglobe.com/2024/08/06/artโ€ฆ
