The Bateman Flashes for Libraries campaign targets Kent State students, faculty and community members to build support for the EveryLibrary political action committee (PAC), the first and only PAC in the United States dedicated to supporting libraries. The team uses in-person tactics, such as tabling and events, as well as social media outreach to build a network of advocates who support pro-library legislation and oppose book bans and censorship. Flashes for Libraries consists of six team members:
