It’s the last day to join Grandparents For Truth’s Banned Books Reading Challenge – and we don’t want you to miss out! All you have to do is send in a photo or video of yourself with a banned book, and you’ll earn points to get free Grandparents For Truth swag. It’s a great way to show your support for People For and help support our work to fight book bans and defend the freedom to learn!
We caught up with People For board member, actress, and activist Kathleen Turner, who had a special message for our members who are dedicated to defending the freedom to learn.
Hi. I’m Kathleen Turner.And I’m inviting you to join our Grandparents For Truth Banned Book Reading Challenge to fight back against book banning and censorship. It’s easy and fun, and you don’t have to be a grandparent to do it! Just someone who loves books, kids, and the freedom to learn. Find out more at pfaw.org/bannedbooks23. And thank you for joining us in the fight against censorship. |
