MomsRising Post-Election Community Meeting | Reunión Post-Electoral de MamásConPoder · MomsRising

_**Español abajo**_ We’re not giving up on you, on us, and on what we can (and must) build together: Safe communities that welcome diversity. Affordable childcare. Maternal health equity. 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. As some try to tear things down, together we will build! **Sign up now to join us for our next post-election MomsRising big community meeting.** ______________________________________________ _**Español**_ No nos rendiremos, seguiremos luchando por lo que podemos (y debemos) construir juntos: comunidades seguras que den la bienvenida a la diversidad. Cuidado infantil accesible. Equidad en la salud materna. Libertades reproductivas. Licencia médica y familiar pagada después de la llegada de un nuevo hijo o de una crisis de salud grave. Atención en casa accesible. Salarios justos. Seguridad de armas de Fuego. **Te esperamos este jueves 12 de Diciembre a las 8:30 pm hora del Este.** Nos reuniremos contigo, líderes electos, eminencias y más para apoyarnos mutuamente, para pasar este duelo juntos, para levantarnos juntos y para trazar los próximos pasos y construir un movimiento aún más grande, más fuerte, persistente e insistente.

September #KeepMarching: Book Ban Training · MomsRising

**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!
