LGBTQIA+ Rights
When the Don’t Say Gay Law (Parental Rights Law) was first mentioned in the state of Florida, we recognized the need to ensure youth had access to books with LGBTQIA+ representation. To date, we have donated over 10,000 LGBTQIA+ books. Along with books, we have donated to various organizations, attended rallies, and volunteered in different spaces.
How to get involved:
- Speak at your local Board Meetings. Right wing organizations have been gaining in popularity all across the country. These people are showing up at board meetings, getting elected, and successfully banning books, which more often than not have LGBTQIA+ representation in them.
- Volunteer, Donate, and Share the mission of the various organizations below with friends and family:
