According to the American Library Association, in 2023, more than 4,000 titles were targeted with demands for censorship, the highest number in more than 20 years of tracking this data. And PEN America found “3,362 instances of individual books banned, affecting 1,557 unique titles” in the 2022-2023 school year. Many of these books center the experiences and perspectives of LGBTQ+ people and Black, Indigenous and other people of color. Literature can be transformative in helping us learn about the world and see ourselves as part of the shared human experience. Through reading, reflecting and taking action in our daily lives to create more inclusive communities, we can resist hate and the efforts to limit our freedom to learn. To build bridges of understanding and celebrate our shared humanity, let’s read together! Learning for Justice offers some of our favorite book reviews for teens and young adults. #education, #socialjustice, #publishing

When we “learn for justice,” we center learning to inform our action for liberation and justice in our communities. This new learning module for young people offers a structure to introduce planning action for change. The steps can be used for individual or collective planning. The approach is cyclical, meaning you will go through this process more than once throughout your planning and execution. You can also download and print a workbook copy of this Action Planning.

Justice. Equity. Diversity. Inclusivity. These are the foundational principles of a thriving, multiracial and inclusive democracy. Such a democracy is essential in building a more just future for all our children. And to build that future, we need inclusive education to develop understanding of these foundational principles. Inclusive education promotes learning spaces that are affirming and safe for all young people, considers representation of diverse identities in curricula and policies, and is intentional in creating equitable opportunities for all children to learn and thrive. We offer this new short resource, “Tips for Advocating for Inclusive Education,” that provides recommendations for parents, caregivers and other family and community members to help you to advocate for inclusive education in your communities. #education, #socialjustice
