SB 434 is three book bans in a trenchcoat, rehashing a lot of the same language Gov. Ayotte already vetoed in HB 324 but without actually mentioning the word "library" - as if we won't know what this is really about.

SB 33, a book banning bill with dejavu similarities to last year's vetoed HB 324, is up for a vote this week in the NH House. Reach out to your state reps now and urge them to oppose this bill.

ICYMI: Yesterday, the #NH House of Representatives cast bipartisan votes to sustain Governor Ayotte’s vetoes of seven bills related to public education, including a book ban. Read our full statement here: neanh.org/about-nea-nh... #NHPolitics

Gov. Ayotte's veto of last year's book banning bill, HB 324, was upheld this week thanks to the hard work of freedom to read advocates across New Hampshire. Great job, everyone. Now on to the fight against the next book banning bill, SB 33. indepthnh.org/2025/12/17/n...

ACTION ALERT: Contact your local House members and urge them to sustain Gov. Ayotte's veto of HB 324 when they meet this Wednesday.

WE DID IT! Gov. Ayotte sided with the freedom to read and vetoed HB 324. Huge thanks to all of the organizations, advocates, authors, and readers who helped make this happen. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

If you need a reminder of what we're fighting for, here are a bunch of authors reading short excerpts of letters sent to them by grateful readers. Recommend having tissues handy.

This morning, we gathered outside Governor Ayotte’s office for our read-in to protest HB 324, the book ban bill. If passed, HB 324 could create a chilling effect for educators across NH and make it easier to ban books in classrooms and school libraries across our state. #nhpolitics

This poll for EveryLibrary and Moms Rising by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center shows that voters across the political spectrum are concerned about the consequences of HB 324, one of NH's two book banning bills this year. See the results: www.everylibrary.org/nh_voters_re...

Massachusetts @authorsabb.bsky.social contingent at the Boston #HandsOff rally/march. Quite a few librarians came so speak to us. One even asked to take a photo with us.

Also, I want it clear that I've yet to see a sales boost or increased interest in my book despite it being one of the few we know has been banned in New Hampshire–where I'll be giving a talk on censorship next month, btw. Stop with that lie. What actually happens is people lose access to a book.

Sign in against another book banning bill in NH! The House is holding a hearing next week on SB 33, which would make it easier to ban books in NH's school libraries. View this thread to see how to register your opposition:
