The Freedom to Learn (F2L) network is a coalition of the United States’ leading Black scholars, top civil rights organizations, national teachers unions, students, and people and organizations across the world, all united against the widespread attempts to ban access to books and antiracist education in schools. The F2L’s National Day of Action on May 3, 2023 was designed to make clear that we reject the current assaults on Black history, Black voices and Black lives by both extremists in Florida’s state government and enablers like the College Board. These struggles are deeply connected and we must fight back against related attacks on the LGBTQ+ community through repressive “Don’t Say Gay'' laws reshaping public education. With over 140 concurrent activations on May 3rd, we loudly stated that now is the time to build a broad network of people to strengthen our democracy and advance values of equity, inclusion, and social justice . Book bans and classroom censorship are expected to be a top election issue for candidates in 2024. The 2024 presidential elections are an opportunity to elect politicians across the country who believe in the freedom to learn and who will strengthen democracy by legislating that truth be taught, spoken and read in this nation. F2L’s May 3rd Day of Action was only the beginning of a concerted effort to show the nation that we will not remain passive while the enemies of equity continue their attacks. We are taking back our power to organize, educate, and resist. To learn more about the Freedom to Learn network and how you can get involved, visit www.freedomtolearn.net and scan the QR codes below.
