In a statement accompanying the news, Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home, a book defended multiple times by the organization, said, “CBLDF has gone to bat for my readers and fellow artists time and again over the years. Thanks to their support, books like Fun Home are available to readers who wouldn't otherwise see themselves in their community's libraries.”

Accompanying Bechdel’s words is a statement from American Gods and Sandman creator Neil Gaiman, who is the chairman of the CBLDF’s advisory board, which reads, “Over the past century, almost every piece of pop culture that we love has been attacked and censored by people looking for something ‘dangerous’ they can control. This includes rock music, hip-hop, video games, heavy metal and fantasy role-playing games… they’ve all been the victim of moral panic.

“But it started with comics… This kind of censorship nearly destroyed comic books when I was growing up, and those old ideas about comics being bad for you continue to this day. For more than 30 years, CBLDF has been responding to those attacks, and now, thanks to you, we can do so much more.

“Your donations are helping us provide free legal aid and advice, prevention resources, and legal action against unconstitutional laws that restrict speech. You’re helping us stand up for underrepresented communities whose books are frequently targeted for censorship. And you’re helping us create resources to support comics and graphic novels being available in schools and libraries.”
