North Dakota First Amendment Defense Group

We are a coalition of North Dakota community members, educators, parents, librarians, and advocacy organizations dedicated to preserving Americans’ freedom to choose what we read. Our group is dedicated to defending libraries from book-banning efforts. With the new bill proposed by House Majority Leader Mike Lefor, there is no time to waste. This is a space where we can discuss current issues and come together to fight for our First Amendment rights and all North Dakotans right to read any and all books.
