Click here to join the Freedom to Read Foundation today!!

Every day, the First Amendment and your right to read are under attack.  Individuals in communities all across the country are being restricted from accessing information because someone else thought the materials were offensive or they didn’t agree with their ideas.  Every day, the Freedom to Read Foundation stands up for the First Amendment and for your right to read.  Stand with us! Become a member of the Freedom to Read Foundation, and join your fellow free speech advocates in opposing censorship and protecting the most basic rights of our democratic society.

FTRF is the First Amendment legal defense organization affiliated with the American Library Association.  FTRF engages directly in much of the most important First Amendment and privacy litigation in the country, including many of the biggest Supreme Court cases of the past 40 years. Thanks to the Freedom to Read Foundation, our right to access information in public and school libraries, the privacy of library records, and free speech on the Internet are significantly stronger. FTRF will continue to vigorously defend these rights – but we need your help to do so.

Membership starts at just $35.00 for individuals and $100.00 for organizations. Students receive a special $10.00 membership rate, and recent library school graduates get a FREE one-year membership.
