Right now, in Hanover County, the racist campaign of banning our stories and narratives rages on as they start the "review process" in order to remove more books from our libraries. More than 100 books could be on the chopping block, using a tool not professionally recognized by librarians. 

While Girls For A Change (GFAC) can't stop the banning of books, we can create a library of our own so that Black girls have access to discover stories written by people who look like them - and where history is not hidden or erased.

Can you help us lift up Black stories in honor of Black August? 

We are asking for donations to help support the build out of the GFAC library. As you know, we’re currently raising money to “Raise the Roof” on a brand new building. Your donation will help us reclaim our time and our literature, starting with some essential reading that conservatives on the far right want to keep from us.
