What can YOU do about the book bans? Here's a portrait of an everyday parent activist fighting back from @LauraPappano's SCHOOL MOMS from @BeaconPressBks muthamagazine.com/2024/04/school…
The best thing you can do to celebrate National Library Week is to go to a board meeting and talk about how much you use and care about your library. "I'm too scared to talk publicly." That's fine. You can write a letter. Do it right now and email it to the board.
Happy National Library Workers Day! A huge shoutout to all the hard-working, dedicated, and often underpaid library professionals who keep our libraries thriving, especially during these challenging times. Thank you for all that you do! #NLWD24 #NationalLibraryWeek

Breaking: The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has blocked West Virginia's trans athlete ban, ruling that it violates Title IX. This is a huge victory for our client Becky and other kids like her who just want to participate in sports like everyone else.
The NAIA and other sports leagues should learn from Coach Dawn Staley. Including trans athletes in women’s sports doesn’t diminish the game, but enriches it. Women’s sports DO NOT need anti-trans fearmongering and discrimination—they need resources and funding.…

We *choose* to, and we do so proudly. Public safety is our duty and we will never apologize for communicating weather hazards in a manner that is accessible to our multilingual society. Zero tolerance for these kinds of comments, folks.
Speaks volumes about Boulder, Colorado when they have to put announcements in another language.
On #TransDayofVisibility, my message to trans Americans is we see you, we love you, and we celebrate you. I will continue to support federal protections for trans Americans to live free from discrimination and violence.
Trans rights are human rights. On #TransDayOfVisibility, I'm proud to stand with our trans and non-binary communities, and I'll always fight for your right to be who you are.
For Trans Day of Visibility, my message is simple: I see you, and I’ve got your back. As governor, I'm focused on making Michigan a more welcoming state where everyone has the freedom to be who they are and be loved for it.
Trans rights are human rights. On #TransDayOfVisibility, I stand firmly with you in a state where everyone can be who they authentically are. Here in Illinois, you’ll always have a home that sees you, accepts you, and respects you.
Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility! This year we celebrated with a TDOV quit-making party in our town hall. Thanks to everyone who came out and a happy TDOV to our Trans and Gender non-conforming staff and community members!

I just saw wedding pictures from a former student on Facebook. She looked so happy, each picture just bursting with joy and love and family… and to think that when I had this student, her marriage to her wife would not have been legal. So happy for her love.
