Collier County: Bring Back Books!

Across the state, extremist groups have joined forces to push our state and counties to launch assaults on basic civil liberties. They are banning books, censoring honest conversations about the history of racism and injustice, propagandizing curriculum, demonizing teachers, harassing school board members, and trying to erase the stories and lived experiences of LGBTQ, people of color, and other marginalized groups from our classrooms entirely.

We need you to join us to resist these attacks, specifically around book bans. Even if the start of your advocacy is just a few parents or community members showing up to each school board meeting, our students deserve to have the adults in their communities fighting for the schools they deserve. Florida’s public schools should be welcoming, affirming, and teaching honest content in their classrooms.

Once you sign up you will receive a link to a tool kit created for individuals and organizations alike. This toolkit is designed to share the resources, and in it you’ll find ready-to-use talking points, sample digital content for social media, sample policy recommendations, and even a model proclamation you can encourage your school board to pass.

Start where you are comfortable, and grow where you can.  Sign up here:  https://www.mobilize.us/equalityflorida/event/577240/
