Reproductive freedoms. Paid family and medical leave after a new child arrives or serious health crisis strikes. Accessible homecare. Fair pay. Gun safety. So we’re going to continue to get together with you, elected leaders, luminaries, and more to support each other, to grieve together, to rise together, and to map out next steps and build an even bigger, stronger, persistent, insistent movement.

Learn how to bust book bans. Especially of interest to NC parents!
**Join MomsRising and the Florida Freedom to Read Project on Wednesday, September 13th at 8:30pm EST / 5:30pm PST for a training on how to fight censorship efforts in your community.** Far-right MAGA Republican Governors and state legislatures across the nation have been using political tricks to erode accurate and age-appropriate education, attack LGBTQ+ communities, and ban books. Fake “parents'” groups are targeting even progressive counties to try to ban books from public schools. It’s critical that we all have the tools to fight this censorship machine! In this training, we will cover topics like: - What constitutes a book ban and what are the different types of bans - How is this happening and why - How to track “book challenges” that lead to bans in your community - Strategies to increase access to diverse books via schools and/or school boards - How to disrupt politically motivated book bans **Learn how they are doing it! Sign up for this #KeepMarching meeting now!** Details: * **WHAT**: Book Ban Training * **WHEN**: Wednesday, September 13th at 8:30pm EST / 5:30pm PST * **WHERE**: Online (Zoom), from wherever you are Sign up now!
The national debate about gun violence and gun policy reform rests on an understanding of the Second Amendment shaped by the NRA and other pro-gun extremists. Their definition asserts that the right to bear arms is – and always has been – a bedrock Constitutional right that guarantees freedom. But what if the NRA’s interpretation of the Second Amendment is historically wrong? How has the NRA’s version fed a gun violence epidemic that threatens and terrifies everyone, with disproportionate impacts on communities of color and other vulnerable communities? And how is the NRA’s Second Amendment increasingly infringing on other fundamental rights like free speech and safety? Other topics to be covered include: * The impact of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Heller decision on gun violence rates and on vulnerable communities * The unfolding impact of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Bruen decision * How 2A is increasingly infringing on other foundational constitutional rights Details: * **What**: “The Hidden History of the Second Amendment and What Came After” online teach-in * **Who**: Constitutional law professors Carl Bogus and Mary Anne Franks, with moderator Michele Ozumba * **When**: Thursday, June 8, 2023, 8:30 pm ET / 5:30 pm PT * **Where**: Online (Zoom), from wherever you are Sign up now!
