American Booksellers for Free Expression

American Booksellers for Free Expression (ABFE) is a non-profit organization operating as the advocacy wing of the American Booksellers Association (ABA) to promote free speech and expression in the United States. The organization was founded in 1990 as the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression (ABFFE). In 2015, the ABFFE merged with the ABA and became ABFE. The organization works at both the national level and at local levels to support individuals who voice opposition to book challenges and bans. ABFE also provides resources and education to booksellers, politicians, the press, and the public on the importance of free expression.

The current director of ABFE is David Grogan, who took over the role in 2018. The previous director was Chris Finan, who served as director of the National Coalition Against Censorship (NCAC) from 2017 until his retirement in 2023.
