Immigrant Rights are HUMAN rights. If you or someone you know is stopped by ICE, please remember you have the RIGHT to remain silent! That includes NOT giving your name if asked.
Official statement on ICE cosigned by 130+ KidLit & YA authors and illustrators. We are calling on publishers to not preemptively censor themselves in the face of this current administration and to protect marginalized creators. 🧵
