Today, in a win for the freedom to read, a state superior court issued a tentative ruling against the City of Huntington Beach in Alianza Translatinx v. City of Huntington Beach, prohibiting the city from implementing and enforcing its censorship scheme in the Huntington Beach Library system.

On February 26, 2025, three Huntington Beach residents – including two teenagers – and the non-profit Alianza Translatinx filed suit against city leaders challenging their censorship scheme in the Huntington Beach Library System that expressly violates the California Freedom to Read Act and the California Constitution.
