It’s crucial now more than ever to champion education that is inclusive and honest and that promotes critical thinking. To strengthen our democracy, we must resist campaigns that aim to ban books, exclude participation and censor social justice in education.

May 3 is the Freedom to Learn National Day of Action. The Learning for Justice resource page supporting Freedom To Learn has been newly updated. We encourage you to participate and support young people’s freedom to read, learn and build a just future.

Book Reviews for Children and Teens

Stories are a deeply meaningful way that we learn about the world, and they can build empathy and understanding of ourselves and others. This resource page offers a few of our favorite book recommendations from our magazine book reviews that affirm identities, celebrate diversity and highlight justice.

Supporting LGBTQ+ Rights and Inclusion

All young people should have the right to safe, affirming and inclusive schools. But currently, LGBTQ+ young people and families are being targeted, and their histories and experiences are being misrepresented and erased. These LFJ materials can help you advocate for the children and families in your communities who are being harmed.

Learning for Justice in the South

Do you live or work in any of LFJ’s five Deep South focus states—Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi—or do you know anyone who does? Spread the word that LFJ is working in these states to build a community of educators, parents and caregivers, and community members who support inclusive education for all our young people. As a special gift (while supplies last), new LFJ magazine subscribers from these states will receive an introductory package that includes some of our most recent publications.
