Protect the First Amendment in Wyoming

Right here in Wyoming, special interest activist groups are attempting to limit our First Amendment rights.

They’re pushing local officials to ban certain books and other protected expressions simply because they don’t like the content. What these groups are advocating for is censorship and it violates the constitution, plain and simple.

Your local elected officials should be defending free speech rights guaranteed by the First Amendment, not stifling them. The freedom to choose what ideas we engage with is one of the cornerstones of our democracy.

That’s why we’re asking elected officials to stand with freedom-loving Wyomingites.

By signing your name to this petition, you tell Wyoming’s elected officials that you oppose any efforts to criminalize or censor books about race, gender, or sexual orientation – and that you support students, educators, and everyone's fundamental right to read.

LGBTQ+ and Two Spirit authors will not be banned for talking about issues that impact LGBTQ+ people.
BIPOC authors will not be banned for talking about factual history from their perspective and how it impacted their community.
Books will not be banned for having LGBTQ+ and Two Spirit characters.
Books will not be banned for having BIPOC characters.

Join us in this critical fight for free speech and equitable education. Take our pledge today and when you do, we’ll send you our Fighting Against Book Bans toolkit directly to your inbox.

In the face of continued and coordinated attempts to ban, criminalize. or censor books about race, gender, or sexual orientation, I support our students, our educators, and everyone’s First Amendment right to read.
