B.C.’s kindergarten to Grade 12 education system complies with #TRC Calls to Action — at least according to the provincial government.

But Carolyn Roberts knows changes like four credits of Indigenous-focused coursework are the floor — not the ceiling.

Fellow BC teacher-librarians, we need to support these American authors. Many of the books we purchase for our collections are American and we need to have books that represent the lived experience of ALL our students.

authorsabb.bsky.social Authors Against Book Bans @authorsabb.bsky.social · Nov 25
An Open Letter to our Publishers has been sent to over 90 Publishing CEOs this morning in response to the concerns of our members. 1/4
An Open Letter to Our Publishers With the election of the trump administration and its policies as embodied by Project 2025, we authors have deep concerns about how our publishers will be operating and how publishers will advocate for and protect authors. Trump's agenda explicitly calls for the criminalization of authors, teachers, librarians, and publishing professionals with the consequences including, "imprison[ment]," and being "classed as registered sex offenders" (pg 4 Project 2025) For authors who are not citizens, this could also result in deportation. This promises to be a pro-censorship, pro-book-banning administration, and the successful implementation of its policies will require willing compliance of America's institutions, including its corporations. The freedom to write is as important as the freedom to read. We have been heartened by many publishers' willingness to engage in legal and legislative pathways to fight book banning and want to be sure that you will double-down on your fight during this consequential time. This past week AABB help open forums with authors from all genres and age levels to better understand author concerns and needs. While this may not be a complete list due to the rapid turnaround, we know we have a short time before January to prepare for what is to come and we want to this start this conversation sooner rather than later.
