There are so many ways we can protect our collective democracy, including by protecting access to books in our schools and libraries across the United States. PEN America, a nonprofit that works to protect free expression, recently recorded 3,362 book bans in public school classrooms and libraries, most of which include books discussing issues of race and racism, or center LGBTQIA+ identities.
I remain inspired by the ways that Unitarian Universalists are fighting book bans in our communities. Our friends at Beacon Press also share this commitment, as it aligns with their own publishing mission of social and racial justice. Learn more about what others are doing and how you might get involved, too, in a story from our UU World magazine. You’ll find the link in the comments below.
