fwd: fwd: book bans at your public library

Sandeep, we’ve been emailing you all year about Republican‑led book bans sweeping through our public libraries and schools. If you missed our last update, here’s what you should know: [1] 40% of the most banned books feature an LGBTQ+ character and/or storyline. [2] House Republicans just introduced a bill to ban ALL LGBTQ+ books from public schools nationwide. [3] Every ban on an LGBTQ+ book is an attempt to erase our community, history, and culture. So we need to show widespread support for free access to books of all kinds by standing up for our local public libraries: Do you approve of your public library? Confirm now >> I APPROVE OF MY PUBLIC LIBRARY >> I DISAPPROVE >> UNSURE >> ‑‑‑‑Begin forwarded message‑‑‑‑ Hey Sandeep – I was just going through the latest responses to our Library Approval Poll, and I was hoping to see your name. But it looks like your response is *still* missing. Republicans are plotting to ban thousands of books and shutter our local libraries – quite frankly, I’m stressed out about it. We can’t afford for any good Democrat to be silent in the face of these attacks on our beloved local libraries! So I’m asking you one last time to show your support >> I APPROVE OF MY PUBLIC LIBRARY >> I DISAPPROVE >> UNSURE >> Your voice could go a long way to help save our local libraries! Maya P.

Record your approval of your public library now >> I APPROVE OF MY PUBLIC LIBRARY >> I DISAPPROVE >> UNSURE >> Bigoted Republicans will stop at NOTHING to ban diverse books from our schools and libraries.

So we need Gates Mills Democrats to stand in support of your local public library! Respond now >> Do you approve of your public library?
