OpenBook
During the Spring of 2022 I became aware of an unprecedented number of book bans taking place in the United States.

Introducing OpenBook
Our Kids deserve the freedom to learn — about our history, our diverse stories, and each other. All children have a right to see themselves reflected in the stories they read. No child should be deprived of the opportunity to learn about communities that are different than their own.
OpenBook helps parents fight back against educational censorship by facilitating the creation of parent-led book clubs across the state of Florida. Together, we can create local communities that have the potential to grow into a full-fledged movement. Join us today!
