Thursday's two things

Item 1

Do you care about literally anyone who attends or works at a school in the U.S.? ➡️ Get Free explains:

We have until March 1st to defend our freedom to learn. […] The MAGA regime issued an ultimatum giving schools 14 days to remove all recruitment programs, clubs, and scholarships for Black and brown students.

Our schools must refuse to comply with these segregationist orders. But that will only happen if we, the people, demand it. Add your name to our petition calling on the presidents of colleges, school boards, and K-12 administrators across the country to stand with students' freedom and futures.

Item 2

This one is for our loves in the DMV.

Are you in DC and…

• feeling like some ACT UP-style civil disobedience? ➡️ Tara Hoot is cooking something up; get in touch with her if you want to play a part. Or mark your calendar and recruit a friend to join you at this Rally & March for Drag on March 8!
• a family-friendly storytime is more your speed? ➡️ That’s on Tara’s calendar, too.
• furious about the Kennedy Center? ➡️ Tara for President. (Hat tip: Emily G.)

Not in DC? ➡️ Forward this to someone there.

‘Til tomorrow,

JCS
