This sounds frivolous in the grand scheme of things but we need to support archivists, protect public libraries, protect journalists, writers, artists, photographers, and filmmakers. We need to continue to keep culture alive and educate our youth.

Remember that you are not alone in whatever you have been fighting for and advocating for. You've probably met and interacted with so many people including on here, so if comfortable, share with others which groups you are joining/organizing with.

The conventional wisdom is that libraries are a local matter, but national politics will make an impact.

It has always been up to all of us to build the communities of solidarity, resistance, and care we need, together. Let’s turn to each other and prepare to continue the fight in old and new ways.

See you in the organizing meetings, on the picket lines, in the streets.

KOSA, just passed by the Senate 91-3, will allow politicians and federal commissioners to decide what Americans should read and watch online. It’s a blatant attack on our free speech. https://t.co/SmIeuo5VlP
