Dear MoveOn member,

When we introduced these "Warning: May Contain Banned Books" tote bags earlier this year, we ran out in hours. We're excited to announce that we have brought them back in stock just in time for the holidays!

Arthur, we created these tote bags as a form of protest against the ongoing efforts by Republicans to control the minds of our children, silence voices of dissent, and stop school teachers from providing accurate, fact-based information about American history to their students.

We first offered these tote bags in March, when data was released showing that book bans reached an all-time high across the country in 2021.1

New reporting now shows that 2022 has exceeded 2021 in book bans, with thousands of books being banned in cities, towns, and schools across America.2

Which books are Republicans focused on banning?

40% of banned books featured main characters that are LGBTQ+.3

40% had main characters that were people of color.4

And 20% directly addressed race and racism.5

Republicans are using these bans to push a hateful, homophobic, white supremacist agenda, but they will not succeed.

MoveOn and our allies will continue to fight at every turn to stop these book bans and defeat the politicians who are pushing them forward—and you can join in by getting your very own "Warning: May Contain Banned Books" tote bag and using it proudly at the library, grocery store, and anywhere else where you can spread the message.

The best part is: By getting this tote bag from MoveOn, every dollar you spend will go directly toward the work to defeat the GOP. Not a single cent will go toward lining the pockets of billionaires.

Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? Voters just defied history and stopped a MAGA wave of extremism at the polls. But there is more work to do to end the filibuster, codify abortion rights into law, and defend our freedoms, our families, and our futures. We can accomplish all this and more, but only if we work together.
