TRUTH Day of Action

FREE COMMUNITY EVENT IN THE COMMUNITY SPACE AT PARK BOOKS!

All are welcome!
 

Teach Truth Day of Action is when educators, students, parents, and community members defend the right to #TeachTruth.

The right has declared war on teaching the truth about structural racism and sexism and on LGBTQ+ youth. Books by Black, Indigenous, people of color, LGBTQ+, and Palestinian American writers are increasingly being banned.
 

While claiming to “protect” young people, the right-wing legislators block any efforts to address gun violence (the leading cause of death for young people) and the existential threat of climate change.

From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. community organizations will share information and there will be activities and presentations every hour on the hour where all are welcome to come and learn about these important topics. Please continue to check back here for the schedule as it continues to fill in!  

This is a family-friendly event and all are welcome to come and go throughout the day. While there will be banned books and books on the topics available for purchase, no purchase is necessary to come and learn! 

10:00 Doors Open: Come explore the various tables of community partners joining us for Truth Day.
