Book Bans threaten democracy, and it’s clear that the latest series of censorship attempts are not about the work, but about the identities of those who write and read them.

NJ has an obligation to fight back against these attacks, and to set an example for the nation in defending the right to access information.

"A new law here in New Jersey is a counter to the alarming number of book bans happening across the nation. The act includes legal protections for librarians who have come under fire from conservative groups, like Moms For Liberty, for merely doing their job and providing access to the full breadth of material libraries have to offer. In addition the act includes measures to curb bad faith actors from elbowing their way into the collections of school and public libraries to keep you from reading material they deem offensive. Book banning is one of the first chapters in the authoritarian handbook, which you should have the right to read no matter how offensive I find it. Take the wins where you can get them." -Drew Sheneman
