We're fighting against several proposed censorship measures across the United States as well as thousands of attempts to ban books in school and public libraries by providing digital tools, direct funding, and pro-bono consulting to local campaigns against book bans.
Your donations allow us to support local communities who are fighting against book bans on our Fightforthefirst.org platform. The most sophisticated suite of tools to fight against book bans available anywhere.
We know that the work we're doing is helping communities win!
Just take a look at Douglas County, CO. They launched a campaign on our FightFortheFirst.org platform and your donations allowed us to spend over $1,000 on digital ads to get their petition signed. Over 1700 residents took action and the board voted against banning books.
Or Ridgeland, NJ, where the FightfortheFirst.org platform allowed local organizers to launch a petition and send mass communications to their petition signers to help them organize and win. Besides the digital tools at Fight For the First, EveryLibrary supported the campaign with funding for digital ads to put the petition in front of local community members and EveryLibrary offered pro-bono consulting with the campaign leadership. Over 3,000 Americans took action thanks to support from people like you who make these tools possible with your donations.
No other organization provides this many resources, for free, to any community fighting against book bans.
You can launch your own campaign at fightforthefirst.org.
