Though we have been deep in the current wave of book bans for over two years, new groups and organizations continue organizing campaigns to raise awareness of the situation. There are so many big and small groups doing good work on the issue, and they have done tremendous work in not only ensuring that people know about book bans but that they have access to resources, tools, and support to take action. Unfortunately, we’re well past the needs of more hashtag activism and online resources to bring attention to book bans. This is not what groups like Moms for Liberty…

When I was in high school, one of my first jobs was working at a big chain video store. While it was fun to be around movies and movie fans all day, it did have all the pitfalls of any public facing customer service job. Weird customers, understaffing, and repetitive work were all par for the course, but the worst part was the eerie feeling that would sometimes creep over you as you were closing. There’s something about the liminal time where the store is no longer open, but you’ve still got stuff to do before you leave. You feel…

I thought, ‘I didn’t need a van, a divorced woman, and three kids in my life—that’s just trouble.'”Nearly a decade and a half on, though, they’re still kicking it, the pair adding son Solomon, 11, and daughter Ariella, 7, to the squad. As for bringing on other teammates, it’s not in the game plan. ”I really, really struggle with it because it feels, like, ‘Oh, well. Those didn’t work.
