Dear Friend,
[ [link removed] ]Mark your calendars for Courage California’s virtual fundraising
event, “Courageous Voices, One Movement,” on September 14, 2022!
This year we are excited to welcome journalist/author/activist George M.
Johnson, a bold and visionary storyteller, as our featured guest speaker.
George’s New York Times bestselling young adult Memoir, [ [link removed] ]All Boys Aren’t
Blue, is a powerful series of essays recounting their adolescence growing
up as a young Black Queer boy in New Jersey. The book ranked number three
on a list of the 10 Most Challenged Books of 2021 by the American Library
Association and has been banned in almost 20 states.
[ [link removed] ]Don’t miss your chance to hear George M. Johnson and support Courage
California’s work.
We celebrate George M. Johnson for using their courageous voice to fight
even harder to tell Black queer stories. George’s advocacy and organizing
efforts against the banning of [ [link removed] ]All Boys Aren’t Blue is reminiscent of
Courage California’s roots in fighting Prop 8.
Their courage is a much needed reminder of the multi-front battle our
progressive movement faces in countering disinformation, while continuing
to expand rights and protections in California. We hope to see you there.

In solidarity,
Amber along with Angela, Annie, Irene, Isidra, Jay, Lindsay, LisaMarie,
Mai D., Mai T., Raquel, and Scottie (the Courage team)

Courage California (formerly Courage Campaign) makes sure our democracy works for ALL of us by fighting corruption in California politics. We believe the solution lies in exposing and solving systemic problems through strategic organizing, enhancing coordination between progressive organizations, and mobilizing civic engagement from our communities, particularly voters of color, young voters, and self-identified progressives.
