Join Michelle and Authors Against Book Bans for a postcard writing party at On Waverly in San Francisco!

We will be writing postcards to our local representatives about HR 7661, a nationwide book ban bill that targets marginalized communities. It’s a blatant violation of the 1st amendment, and extreme government overreach. HR 7661 made it through committee and will be up for a vote in the House…but not if we can kill it before it gets there.

Please join us in fighting for our right to read and create! Bring 5 stamps to share if you can!

All ages welcome!
