Hamilton Township NJ First Amendment Defense Group

Our group is dedicated to defending libraries from book-banning efforts. Hamilton Township public schools are under attack. Age-appropriate books about LBGTQ and race topics are being challenged by extremist groups, whose members don't even attend our public schools. We are determined to fight this censorship and the efforts of this group to push their political agendas into our diversity community.
