Re: Can we send you our LeVar Burton "Read Banned Books" T-shirt?

Supplies are limited, and it's MoveOn's bestselling shirt in our 25-year history, so hurry to get yours now.

Dear MoveOn member,

LeVar Burton spent more than 20 years sharing his love for reading on "Reading Rainbow" and now has teamed up with MoveOn to fight the alarming rise in censorship and book bans.

These bans, pushed by MAGA politicians and far-right political groups like Moms for Liberty, prevent young people from learning about themselves and their own identities, shut down discussion, blot out empathy and understanding, and conceal America's history.¹

We cannot become a country of censorship and book bans.

That is why, just in time for spring T-shirt season, we're bringing back the very special T-shirt we made in collaboration with LeVar Burton. But supplies are limited, and it's MoveOn's bestselling shirt in our 25-year history, so hurry to get yours now.

Just click here or on the image below to grab yours now!

MoveOn teamed up with LeVar Burton last year, and together we've been at the forefront of fighting the sharp rise in book bans in libraries and schools across the country.

Thanks to support from MoveOn members like you, MoveOn launched a nationwide Banned Bookmobile tour through more than a dozen states last year, handing out thousands of banned books—for free—and energizing voters.² And stay tuned—we'll have updates on the next phase of our Banned Bookmobile tour soon!

Nearly 500,000 MoveOn members have signed our petition calling for an end to book bans across the United States.³

And together, MoveOn and LeVar Burton led nearly 200 authors, artists, and creative leaders in writing an open letter against book bans.⁴

Now, you can join the effort by getting your loved ones (and yourself!) a special-edition "Read Banned Books" T-shirt just in time for the spring weather!

Dozens of authors and entertainers—including Rosario Dawson, Rita Moreno, Andy Cohen, and Margaret Atwood—have already gotten theirs.

And, remember, unlike at Amazon and other corporate retailers with harmful business practices and fat-cat execs, at MoveOn your money will go directly toward our work fighting book bans and building a country where everyone can thrive.

Click here to get your shirt today!

Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? The MAGA movement's book bans have forced teachers and librarians across the country to remove books from their shelves and censor what young people can learn. MoveOn is fighting back, including by filling a "Banned Bookmobile" with books that the far right has banned and driving it to key cities and towns to raise the visibility of book bans, hand out banned books for free, and bring people together to stop censorship. To keep up the fight against book bans and the MAGA politicians who support them, we need your help.

Will you make a gift to power MoveOn's critical work?

Yes, I'll chip in.
