Public libraries need our help. As reactionary forces target libraries through book bans and some liberal politicians propose funding cuts instead of increases for libraries, it?s essential that more leftists become involved in their local libraries. The Right focuses on taking over public institutions to privatize & neuter them. We on the Left(s) must focus on strengthening and expanding public institutions that we value, and we believe that libraries are for everyone. Progressives and Leftists must put public libraries at the top of our organizing agendas. 

For the People is intended to be a decentralized, autonomous, volunteer-driven formation. There is no funding or fundraising associated; we have no money. But what we hope to have is people power as we develop over time. We need many more people, doing many different things locally across the country. For The People seeks to empower individuals and communities to take action to protect, expand, and defend their local public libraries. Visit our website: https://www.librariesforthepeople.org.
