- Angry about what’s happening in MN? Now would be a great time to use 5 Calls to call your legislators. Enter your zip code and it gives you a script and the name and number of who to call. I just called my Rep and Senators and it only took a few minutes. 5calls.org

- Reposted by Michelle Cusolito, M.Ed.This is not to say the 8 books are not influential (although I’d debate you on a couple). And I’m not gonna list the dozens of alternative options that could have been selected. But there ARE dozens. I’m sure the folks who put this list together put a lot of thought into it. Just not enough.
- Reposted by Michelle Cusolito, M.Ed.There are 8 picture books on this list. None were created by women. After everything we’ve been through the last decade, this is an enormous oversight. What @slj.com has just said is that only men are influential in the world picture books. And I’m not okay with this.
- Tomorrow!

- Action needed from Massachusetts voters! #FreedomToRead @authorsabb.bsky.social
- Yay Massachusetts! Amendments added to the bill, "An Act Regarding Free Expression." They make the bill even stronger. Please contact your STATE Senator & urge them to support the bill with these amendments. Directions: preview.mailerlite.io/emails/webvi... #ReadFree #FReadom #AuthorsAgainstBookBans
- Reposted by Michelle Cusolito, M.Ed.UPDATE! Several senators have filed amendments that, if passed, will significantly strengthen the bill! Please urge your senator to vote for Amendments 1, 4, 5, 6, and 18. This must be done before Wednesday, so the sooner the better. More details...1/5
