Libraries have been a safe haven for generations of readers, parents, and children, but now they’re the battlefield in the ideological fight over literature. In Texas, @TXLA is defending not just the stacks, but the next generation. #VelshiBannedBookClub #velshi

Librarians in Texas have unwittingly become the first line of defense in the battle over access to banned books. “We have to protect our libraries and librarians,“ says @TXLA. “One of the last free spaces.” #VelshiBannedBookClub #velshi msnbc.com/ali-velshi/watch/-…

All Texans deserve access to books that showcase and reflect diverse stories. #HB900 would ban books, targeting stories with LGBTQIA+ people and characters of color.
Join @TFN and @CDFTexas TODAY at the Capitol for a Banned Book Read-In as the Texas House votes on #HB900📍

HB 900, aka the "Book Burning Act," seeks to outright censor books with any LGBTQ+ themes, characters, or content and require parental permission to access certain other books. And it's being debated by the full House now.
Follow along with us here.
🚨 #TXLege Action Alert!
SB 8 and HB 900 have been scheduled for hearings this Wednesday, March 22!
We are asking LGBTQ+ Texans and allies to show up on Wednesday to drop cards and testify against these bills.
