Lisa Schiff<p>The latest newsletter is out from For The People, a group working to strengthen and defend public libraries. This issue has an excellent report on the group's project to collect governance related data about every U.S. public library system, data that surprisingly aren't collected by any national library organization. <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/LibraryDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LibraryDefenders</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/PublicLibraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PublicLibraries</span></a> <a href="https://librariesforthepeople.substack.com/p/for-the-people-newsletter-vol-xxvii?r=iw9zm&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">librariesforthepeople.substack</span><span class="invisible">.com/p/for-the-people-newsletter-vol-xxvii?r=iw9zm&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true</span></a></p>

Lisa Schiff<p>Hey <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/SanDiego" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SanDiego</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/LibraryDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LibraryDefenders</span></a> Just read the terrible news that your mayor wants to close the libraries on Sun/Mon in order to spend more $ on police! Sounds like organizing a People's Assembly to push back could be a good thing! <a href="https://www.librariesforthepeople.org/resources#peoples-assembly" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">librariesforthepeople.org/reso</span><span class="invisible">urces#peoples-assembly</span></a></p>
Lisa Schiff<p>Resisting at the federal level is critical, but so is building power locally. For The People has just released a new resource to help communities organize to strengthen their <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>libraries</span></a> and better meet local needs: <a href="https://www.librariesforthepeople.org/resources#peoples-assembly" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">librariesforthepeople.org/reso</span><span class="invisible">urces#peoples-assembly</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/LibraryDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LibraryDefenders</span></a></p>

Josiah Mannion<p>I DID THE THING. Helped that I spoke off the cuff a bit, went 3rd after two old white dudes who rambled on about... I dunno, something ultra-conservative, so I cracked a joke about "well, you're 3 for 3 on old white dudes, huh?" (I'm well aware, whatever my interior, of how I read, perfectly capable of using that). Anyway, first time done, I'll be able to refine hone my own sense of what I can say, what's most useful to my friends & community of <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/LibraryDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LibraryDefenders</span></a>. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/PublicLibraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PublicLibraries</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RightToRead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RightToRead</span></a></p>
