Attended The NYU Stern Business & Society Program 2026 Sani Lecture Series featuring Bryan Stevenson, founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative and author of the book "Just Mercy" (that was also adapted into a movie). It's been shared in the Good Trouble Little Free Library a few times.

His lecture was powerful and unapologetic. He discussed his journey (amazing), along with what we need to do to move forward in this horrible climate. He had me and others sitting on the edge of our seats!

How we move forward:
➡️ Be closer to the poor and marginalized so that we are creating laws that are just, fair and equitable.
➡️ Change and correct the narrative about Black people and those imprisoned unjustly
➡️ Be hopeful
➡️ Be willing to do uncomfortable and inconvenient things

The freedom to read is still being challenged: From January 2025 through March 2026, more than 100 pro-censorship bills were introduced in state legislatures. At least 40 bills would penalize libraries and library workers with lawsuits, fines, or even jail time for protecting people’s the right to read.

While the challenges we face are real, so is the growing network of individuals and organizations who continue to win victories, share strategies, and build momentum to protect the right to read everywhere. Because of your hard work, we’ve seen meaningful progress in courts, in legislatures, and in local communities.

This Right To Read Day, we celebrate our wins and take action to protect the freedom to read. Take action today: https://bit.ly/43D9Dtw
