It’s #letfreedomreadday an international day of action for First Amendment Rights. 🧵 I chatted w Kim A. Snyder, Director/Producer of the Emmy-winning @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social abt the anti-democratic book bans & censorship laws adopted by states across the country, & how to push back #booksky

There’s a direct relationship between book bans & declines of democracy. It's no wonder as book bans across the nation rise, our democracy backslides. I tell this story of @democracyforward.org's fight for the freedom to read in Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times. Find resources at bit.ly/4yGh1CZ

Anti-democratic actors use fear to cut us off from our humanity & agency. The work of this moment is to refuse that narrative & reclaim our power. Thanks @eramshaw.bsky.social for the conversation, hosts @LBJLibrary First Light Books, First Baptist, & Austin for using your power! Onward.

“This has nothing to do with politics, it has everything to do with being human.” Tailgates remind us that we have more in common than those who would polarize us would have us believe.

“We don’t care about a litmus test, we care if you’re cheering for the home team.” Last week at Lambeau Field, I had the chance to chat with the trailblazing Representative @air152.bsky.social about community, patriotism, and what bonds us fans together beyond the tailgate.

What to know and what to do after the SCOTUS decision yesterday re DHS’s voter purge. The decision is disappointing and dangerous but likely won’t impact the midterms. Yet it underscores the role we ALL must play — no one coming to save us but us. Here’s what YOU can do👇

TAILGATE TALKS COMING SOON— What if tailgates could show us a path forward? We aren’t three weeks into football season and we’ve already seen Bo French and the MAGA movement try to use football to divide us further—but thats not actually how Americans are and the response has shown it. 1/

Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times has been sold out in many stores, is in its second printing, and landed on The New York Times Bestseller List, notably in the “How To/Advice” section. We were told that books about civics would never land on that list but this book did. 1/

September 11 was a defining generational moment for so many of us who were in young adulthood and/or college 25 years ago. We saw and felt the loss of loved ones and found hope and courage in how first responders, neighbors, and communities came together.

The cost of inaction is far, far higher than the cost of action. I wrote Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times because we are gravely underestimating the cost of capitulation and staying silent. We need ordinary people to meet this moment, take action, and find courage together.
