You have to object to the government telling you which ones you're allowed to see.
And in Iowa, you have to object to the ban being expanded from school libraries to public libraries and bookshops.

Social change organizers in the U.S., please do look to Latin America for inspiration, particularly at what's happening in Brazil right now with the Life Beyond Work (Vida Além do Trabalho) movement, which is mobilizing workers, regardless of political leanings, to push for a 4×3 workweek.
