Fighting Fascism One Library At A Time

With Trump being voted back into office, white supremacy running rampant, and capitalism pushing us faster and further apart from each other, how do we leverage the beautiful gift of free public space, accessible wisdom, and beloved community that are our public libraries? What is the responsibility of public servants like librarians in a fascist era? What values do we need to uphold in our programming, administration, and dealings with the public? How can Indigeneity help guide our behavior towards beauty, harmony, and connection in hard times?
