Join us on the front lines of the fight against censorshop!

Attempts to ban books are alive and well across the United States, but nowhere more than in South Carolina, where we lead the nation in the total number of books banned statewide from public schools. Just in the last two years, 21 books have been banned by the State Board of Education, many featuring LGBTQ+ themes. Teaching AP African American Studies has also been banned statewide. There are threats of further book and curriculum bans, with 140 books proposed for the chopping block so far.

The South Carolina Unitarian Universalist Justice Alliance (SCUUJA) has joined the fight against book banning and we need your help in order to:

• Build and stock Banned Book Bookshelves in UU congregations across South Carolina

• Host state-wide book reads of selected banned books to build understanding of what ideas are being suppressed

• Educate Unitarian Universalists in the state about book banning, offer advocacy training, and coordinate UU actions to fight back against Moms for Liberty and their allies

• Partner in advocacy and action against book and curriculum bans with activists including the youth of DAYLO (see the film about their activism at Banned Together!), ProTruthSC, and the ACLU’s Right to Read Coalition

• Share lessons learned to support resistance to book banning everywhere
