    About National Association Against Censorship  
    NCACs mission is to promote freedom of thought, inquiry and    expression and oppose censorship in all its forms. The    Coalition was formed in response to the 1973 Supreme Court    decision in Miller v. California, which narrowed First    Amendment protections for sexual expression. For the last    40 years, as an alliance of more than 50 national non-profits,    including literary, artistic, religious, educational,    professional, labor, and civil liberties groups, NCAC has    engaged in direct advocacy and education and mobilized support    for First Amendment principles and addressed new modes and    targets of censorship.
