Resources for Readers, Resisters,

and the Reading-Curious

Short, accessible tools to help you understand book bans, support literacy, take action in your community, and protect the right to read, because resistance starts with reading.

Start Where You Are

You don’t have to read everything or know everything. This resource hub is designed for real people with limited time and big feelings. These resources are rooted in the belief that access to stories is a human right, marginalized voices deserve protection—not erasure, literacy is a form of resistance, and you don’t have to be loud or perfect to make a difference. Choose what fits your capacity today:
