'When pushing back against attacks on DEI there are reasons to feel reassured, alarmed, and hopeful.'

Today, our Senior Advisor Sunu Chandy joined an expert panel with Solidarity Futures to discuss attacks on DEI in the workplace — and how and why we can remain hopeful.

Yesterday was #DoloresHuertaDay , honoring the iconic civil rights leader & organizer's birthday.

We were honored to have Dolores Huerta speak at our 'A More Perfect Union' event at the @Smithsonian last fall and are always grateful for her example.

This #ArabAmericanHeritageMonth , we celebrate the vibrancy & advancements the Arab American community has contributed to the U.S.

We also recognize the pervasive threat of Islamophobia and commit to fighting for a more inclusive democracy for all people.

“When people take those books out of the library, you’re saying we don’t think those issues exist, we don’t think those people exist.”

It is essential to stay informed about any legislation in your area that could negatively impact libraries. By monitoring these potential threats and communicating with local representatives, you can help protect your library.

We know that attacks on abortion access are attacks on democracy.

When far-right extremists attack the freedoms we hold dear, we must fight back. That’s why we’re in the courts and in communities across the nation doing exactly that.
