                  Local Activists
                  As a local activist, you can be particularly influential in 
                  censorship controversies which arise in your schools and 
                  libraries, among your friends and neighbors. While our letters 
                  and phone calls can sometimes be ignored as outsider 
                  &#8220;interference,&#8221; your views cannot be so easily dismissed. 
                  Assisting and encouraging activism on the local level is an 
                  essential part of NCAC&#8217;s work. This webpage is devoted to the 
                  exchange of information about local censorship incidents. 
                  Periodically, we will post information about incidents that 
                  are ripe for action at the local level, along with people to 
                  contact and suggested actions. This list is not, and can&#8217;t be, 
                  comprehensive. Feel free to send us information about other 
                  incidents, and suggestions about possible interventions.
                  We urge you to speak out. Remember, most people in this 
                  country actually support free expression. Your actions can 
                  help mobilize this silent majority.
                  And please, share good news too, by reporting your successes!
