Here’s How Your Donation Will Be Used
Expert Legal Defense: This year, CBLDF successfully responded to every legal threat that came our way, defusing each situation before it needed to go to court. That’s because CBLDF’s powerful legal team springs to action at the first sign of trouble. When a comics retailer, reader, or creator is facing a threat to their First Amendment rights, we’re the first responders.
Legislative Action & Alerts: CBLDF works to protect the First Amendment rights that protect the full range of comics expression. CBLDF constantly monitors legislation that could adversely affect the freedom to make, read, or sell comics. We provide targeted and timely updates on changes in the law to our members and bring challenges to unconstitutional laws that could affect the public’s access to comics.
Library Assistance: CBLDF is a leader in protecting intellectual freedom in libraries, providing substantive aid and behind-the-scenes support when books are challenged. This year, we took action to fight attacks on dozens of books, including Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi in the Chicago Public Schools and Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman in Alamogordo, New Mexico. CBLDF is helping to keep comics on the shelf, and empowering communities to speak up for their rights!
Kids’ Right to Read Project: CBLDF is a sponsoring partner in the Kids’ Right to Read Project, a coalition of organizations that monitors and responds to challenges to books in schools and libraries. As part of KRRP, we provide proactive, substantive assistance to help keep comics in circulation when they are challenged. Our participation in KRRP underscores the core principle that parents have a right to choose what comics are appropriate for their children to read, and that all parents should be afforded that same freedom of choice.
Banned Books Week: CBLDF is a sponsor of Banned Books Week, the annual celebration of the freedom to read. CBLDF.org provides a vast body of resources about how and why graphic novels are challenged, alongside tools to help libraries and citizens fight back.
Lectures & Exhibitions: CBLDF helps educate thousands of people about comics & intellectual freedom every year with our popular lectures & exhibitions. CBLDF’s lectures reach audiences at conventions, classrooms, colleges, and courthouses all over the world, and they make a difference in promoting a better understanding of comics & First Amendment rights!
