This morning, we gathered outside Governor Ayotte’s office for our read-in to protest HB 324, the book ban bill.
If passed, HB 324 could create a chilling effect for educators across NH and make it easier to ban books in classrooms and school libraries across our state. #nhpolitics

New Hampshire just passed a book banning legislation that will cost taxpayers thousands of dollars—while pushing forward a state budget slashing public services.
Tell Gov. Kelly Ayotte that book bans are wrong for New Hampshire. Demand a veto of HB 324.

Spring Branch ISD is expediting its book-banning process, which skips teacher, administrator, and parent feedback and leaves book review decisions to the school board.

Fight for freedom to read in New Hampshire schools! Call your state senator before May 15th and urge them to oppose HB 324.
This bill would subject educators to potential criminal charges for the books in their classroom and override local control over school library collections.

Also, I want it clear that I've yet to see a sales boost or increased interest in my book despite it being one of the few we know has been banned in New Hampshire–where I'll be giving a talk on censorship next month, btw.
Stop with that lie. What actually happens is people lose access to a book.
