New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy recently signed into law the Freedom to Read Act, a move that restricts book bans and ensures that the state's students will have access to diverse and inclusive literature. Our CEO and resident New Jerseyan, Adeola Whitney, commends this act and highlights the work we're doing with GreenLight Fund Greater Newark to ensure kids can see themselves in the books they read while they strengthen their literacy skills. https://lnkd.in/enbe2AP8

The three of us were drawn to Teach For America because of our fundamental belief that all children deserve nothing short of an excellent education. We want to see a reality where all children have access to the high-quality educational resources they need to succeed. As far as we're concerned, ONE DAY cannot come fast enough. This is why we have dedicated our careers and our lives to the pursuit of educational equity, and why we all now serve on the national board of a literacy nonprofit, Reading Partners. Similar to Teach For America, those at Reading Partners believe that reading is a civil right, and when students have the educational access they need to develop strong literacy skills, they are able to unlock their full potential in school and beyond. Now, as the year comes to a close, we’re leaning on our communities for support. A donation to Reading Partners will help the organization connect more students with caring tutors so the students can increase their literacy skills and confidence at a critical time in their educational journeys.
