About
Poetry: "The American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression is the bookseller's voice in the fight against censorship. Founded by the American Booksellers Association, ABFFE's mission is to promote and protect the free exchange of ideas, particularly those contained in books, by opposing restrictions on the freedom of speech, issuing statements on significant free expression controversies, participating in legal cases involving First Amendment rights, collaborating with other groups with an interest in free speech, providing education about the importance of free expression to booksellers, other members of the book industry, politicians, the press and the public." Levels of membership/dues: $50. ABFFE is the bookseller's voice in all free speech controversies involving books and other written material. We alerted booksellers to the dangers posed by the USA Patriot Act and helped them communicate their concerns to Congress. We are also active on the local level. ABFFE opposes efforts to ban books in public schools and libraries and files amicus briefs in cases challenging school censorship. ABFFE is a sponsor of Banned Books Week.
