The GOP is obsessed with erasing trans people, their voices, and their stories. This is a FOUR ALARM fire, with the now fourth book banning bill introduced in Congress this year. If you're fighting about HR 7616 and HR 2616 and the CHARLIE Act, you need to know S 4925 is happening, too.

With the Supreme Court’s recent ruling upholding that states can legally exclude transgender athletes from women’s and girls’ sports teams, we figured it would be a good time to remind everyone that trans people belong everywhere and anywhere they want to be—including in sports. 🧵

White, pink, and blue graphic with an illustration of two intertwined hands at the top. The hands are ensconced in a ribbon with the color of the transgender pride flag. The graphic is titled “Trans People Belong Everywhere: A Reading Guide for Books about Trans Inclusivity in Sports”.

As the United States celebrates its 250th, now is a great time to educate ourselves about this nation’s real history—one that is essential to understanding our nation's legacy. Remembering this history is just one way we can move towards creating a more equitable future in the next 250 years 🇺🇸📚

White graphic with an illustration of the American flag across the top. The colors of the stars and stripes are bleeding slightly, as if freshly painted. At the bottom of the graphic is the title “35 Books Excavating Real U.S. History: A Beginner’s Curriculum”.

Out of the 3,743 unique titles banned last year, a recent PEN America report found: ▪︎ 44% of titles featured BIPOC people/characters ▪︎ 39% of titles featured LGBTQIA+ people/characters ▪︎ 10% of titles featured neurodivergent and disabled people/characters

Bright yellow graphic overlaid with a white grid. There is a row of colorful books along the bottom of the graphic. At the center of the graphic is an illustration of a large magnifying glass, and within the lens is body text that says, “A Closer Look: Out of the 3,743 unique titles banned last year, a recent PEN America report found that 44% of book bans were for titles containing BIPOC rep, 39% of book bans were for titles containing LGBTQIA+ rep, and 10% of book bans were for titles containing disability rep (including neurodivergency rep). These three percentages are illustrated by a multi-colored horizontal bar graph.
