[Groundwork Project] Extreme Republicans in our target states are actively working to erase Black history and ban books about people of color and LGBTQ+ people. ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ {NAME}, Extreme Republicans in our target states are actively working to erase Black history and ban books about people of color and LGBTQ+ people: - In Alabama, Republican lawmakers introduced legislation aiming to stop all lessons on slavery and racial injustice from being taught in the state’s public schools. - West Virginia Republicans in the state Senate also passed a bill targeting lessons about race in school. - Mississippi’s Republican governor signed a bill into law banning LGBTQ+ books from public school libraries. - The Oklahoma Republican-led Senate passed a similar bill restricting what books are allowed in schools. [Our grantees are working year-round to combat GOP attempts to silence marginalized communities and prevent important lessons from being taught, but they need the support of this grassroots team to keep fighting.
