The Florida legislature is attempting to solve climate change by ignoring it.

Florida is the epicenter of right wing efforts nationally to ban books, discriminatory efforts targeting books with LGBTQ+ as well as Black and brown characters. Katie Blankenship is the Director of PEN America Florida, a new outreach effort to combat the government suppression of free expression here.

More information on PEN America's Free to be Florida Network can be found here.

Katie's favorite banned books:
"And Tango Makes Three"
Toni Morrison's "Beloved"
"All Boys Aren't Blue"
