To all who wrote their representative to ask them to vote no on HB 1375 THANK YOU!! The bill is not moving forward!

Now on to the next call to action: SB 13 is a poorly written bill that can be weaponized to purge books in school libraries that censors deem "offensive" or without educational value.

The TX legislature is coming after books. HB 1375 lets anyone sue bookshops for damages if their minor accessed content they deemed “harmful.” It's a bad bill & will have a chilling effect on your 1st Amendment rights.

Tell your rep to vote NO on HB 1375. Find your rep: wrm.capitol.texas.gov/home

Build your own banned book library—while you still can. We’ve curated a selection from two banned book lists. And we will keep adding to it!

I also have a nonprofit, Reading Is Revolutionary, that promotes literacy and distributes books to kids whose families can’t afford them. I don’t write this to brag—this makes me really uncomfortable. But I LOVE what I do and this year has been rough.
