National Coalition Against Censorship (NCAC)

For 50 years NCAC has been on the front lines of the censorship wars, working on both the local and national level. We have assisted thousands of artists, authors, teachers, students, librarians, readers, museum-goers, and others around the country in opposing censorship, and we have nurtured a coalition of religious, labor, professional, educational and civil rights organizations united in their commitment to protecting the First Amendment. We educate the public and policy makers about threats to free expression, mobilize them to take action to oppose censorship, and assist in those efforts, facilitate communications between local activists and national organizations, devise new educational, advocacy, and media strategies to create a more hospitable environment for free speech and artistic freedom.
