www.latimes.com/socal/daily-... The Huntington Beach MAGA City Council has lost again.

www.aclusocal.org/en/press-rel... We are thrilled by this outcome!

A great day in court! We prevailed on all issues. The judge ruled against the city on everything! HB’s attempt to ban books in our public library has been thwarted.📚📚📚

When our MAGA city council restricts our freedom to read freely, we fight back in court and at the ballot box!

As of this week, these books are still restricted from teens and others at our public library by our city—even though HB citizens voted decisively in June to stop censorship.Plus the new California law prevents these restrictions. 😡

South Georgia librarian is fired over LGBTQ children’s book included in summer reading display  georgiarecorder.com/2025/07/02/s... We are glad she has an attorney.

Even after HB voters delivered an electoral mandate against censorship, HB continues to make many books inaccessible to patrons. One is an adult book, Call Me By Your Name, which was made into an Academy Award-winning movie. This violates California's new Freedom to Read law.

www.latimes.com/california/s... Our Public Library Won! Thanks to all Huntington Beach residents who voted YES on Measures A and B!

NEW: There have been 4 bomb threats targeting public libraries in the last week. buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

This awful sign was posted this morning near schools and not far from resort hotels by the Vote no team. VOTE YES on A and B by June 10 to protect our library from these extremist forces!

Patrons explain why HB library should not have a politically charged review board picking books for our families. Save our library—Vote Yes!

A great video on what books HB kids are choosing at our library —and it’s not porn!

Seriously? This book has been restricted for those 17 and under at our library because of the city’s MAGA book banners. I showed this to some doctors who were horrified. 😢

Anti-public library forces are spending $$ to defeat our campaign. (June 10 election) All donations, small and large, will help save our library. www.ourlibrarymatters.org. Thank you! ❤️

docs.google.com/presentation... For those wondering about the history and current status of relocated books at HB Public Library. This is what they do to ban LGBTQ+ books in our town. Pretend it's just about the puberty books. Click on link.

youtu.be/z6TKCi6eBOQ?... Beware of monsters (disguised as politicians) stalking library stacks!

BREAKING: The 5th Circuit has ruled that the 1st Amendment does not guarantee the "right to receive information" in public libraries. The ruling against library patrons in Llano County, Texas overturns a 30-year precedent barring the gov't from removing books for political reasons.

Public libraries should be spaces that are welcoming and inclusive for all, regardless of their religious beliefs or political views. But a noisy bunch of "residents" in Huntington Beach disagree. Vote YES on A and B by June 10 to protect our library from politicians.

Watch out--HB’s thought police has arrived! City officials just yanked the best-selling book, The Guncle, from its ADULT book club for May. They seem concerned about its LGBTQ characters 😱.The slippery slope has arrived. It's not just about the kids' library books in HB. It's also about adult books.

It’s not just about the books. The Huntington Beach City Council is homophobic

www.thetruthoc.com/p/a-tale-of-... Huntington Beach's public library is attacked by city council extremists who conduct porn show-and-tells in garages.

OPINION: Book bans draw libraries into damaging culture wars hechingerreport.org/opinion-book... Local Calvary Church of the Harbour does this at city council meetings: "One person comes to the podium... and reads a passage out of context." They instill fear and hostility within our community.
