SUMMARY:Taking Back our Power in 2025 w/ Stacey Abrams
DESCRIPTION:The warning signs of authoritarianism are no longer abstract. Across the country\, we’re seeing efforts to suppress the vote\, attacks on public education\, and attempts to silence free speech. This is a coordinated strategy to weaken our democracy and concentrate power in the hands of a few. But history shows that authoritarianism is not inevitable\, and everyday people are the ones who can defeat it. Join us to hear from Stacey Abrams about where we are as a country\, what’s at stake for all of us\, and how we can fight back. We’ll learn from one of the most respected organizers in the country why local organizing matters\, how we build real power\, and the steps we must take to protect our future. This is a conversation about how we win and how we build the power we need to defeat authoritarianism at every level of government.

SUMMARY:The Current State of Book Bans and How to Fight Back
DESCRIPTION:Book bans may not be making front page headlines\, but they are far from a thing of the past. From traditional bans in schools and libraries to quieter strategies like “shadow banning\,” the movement to censor books is evolving in new and dangerous ways. These efforts are meant to intimidate educators\, pressure publishers\, and push authors toward self-censorship. Join us to hear from experts at PEN America and authors whose books have been banned as we explore the current state of book banning\, the new playbook of censorship\, and the real impact on writers and readers alike. Most importantly\, we’ll learn how to join the fight against book bans and protect the freedom to read.

SUMMARY:How Attacks on Public Education Harm Students of Color
DESCRIPTION:Attacks on public education are escalating but the impacts are not being felt equally by all students. Cuts to funding and restrictive new policies are falling hardest on Black and brown students\, deepening long-standing inequities in our schools. Join us to learn about these disparities from the educational experts at EdTrust as we explore how current education policies and funding cuts disproportionately harm students of color. We’ll explore the root causes of chronic absenteeism\, the bigger picture of inequities in education\, and what we can do to push back and ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive.
