The New York Times reported in January that “a fast-growing network of conservative groups is fueling a surge in book bans.” Why is this happening? What books are being challenged most today? Which groups are being targeted? We will explore these questions and examine how banning books affects children, education, politics and culture
The New York Times reported in January that “a fast-growing network of conservative groups is fueling a surge in book bans.” Why is this happening? What books are being challenged most today? Which groups are being targeted? We will explore these questions and examine how banning books affects children, education, politics and culture. Finally, we will look at how book banning threatens to undermine multiracial democracy.

So MUCH TO OFFER
Our Story--Why Us? Why Now?
We are committed to centering and amplifying the voices of marginalized people in every course and workshop we offer. We can’t look away from the world we live in. We can’t abdicate responsibility for doing what we can to make it better for all. We can’t unlearn the lessons of our lived experience, Josh’s as a teacher and school administrator, Emily’s as a psychologist in the criminal justice system and as a school administrator, Rich’s as a gay social worker on the autism spectrum, Manny’s as a queer Puerto Rican political activist, and, of course our journey as a family. Marginalized people cannot do this work alone. We encourage you to look at our offerings.
Also, a word about our logo: The art that you see at the top of our website is a photo of a sculptural painting entitled "Infinity," created by Allen Schultz in the early 1970s.
