We Are Stronger Than Censorship
We Are Stronger Than Censorship buys and donate two books to offset every one book challenge. The idea is to make the numbers work against the folks so eager to limit the freedom to read for others. Some people are challenging more than 400 books at a time. If they knew that part of the response to their doing that was this program buying and distributing more than 800 books, maybe it would slow their roll... It's like pulling an emergency brake. And if enough of us join together, we can stop the runaway train of book banning.
Every We Are Stronger Than Censorship sticker sold (all our designs) contributes $1 to this program run by the nonprofit Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) in partnership with the nonprofit EveryLibrary Institute. For every $16 raised, we can offset one book challenge by buying and donating two books. You can learn more at wearestrongerthancensorship.org
