I woke up this morning to a news alert that our @GirlsWhoCode middle-grade book series was banned by some school districts as part of the Mom for Liberty effort to ban books. To be honest, I am so angry I cannot breathe.

This series was our labor of love, our commitment to our community to make sure that girls — all girls — see themselves as coders. You cannot be what you cannot see, and this was our effort to get more girls, girls of color interested in coding.

And it worked! We are today 500,000 girls strong. Now, a group of moms and elected officials are trying to change this… by banning books that will get more girls interested in coding. We cannot let them win. We have to fight back. And we will.

A simple but meaningful digital Christmas card from Prince Harry, Duchess Meghan and their Archewell team this year. Alongside the card, the couple made donations to @TeamRubicon, @welcomeus, @GoHumanFirst, @HumanityCrew, @PaidLeaveforAll, @PaidLeaveUS and #MarshallPlanForMoms🎄
The couple’s personal holiday card to family and friends features a new photo by @alexilubo of Harry, Meghan, Archie and Lilibet. “This year, 2021, we welcomed our daughter, Lilibet, to the world,” they write. “Archie made us a ‘Mama’ and a ‘Papa’, and Lili made us a family.”
The photo was taken at home in the summer and was given to @TeamRubicon to share today alongside a donation to @welcomeus to help their work across US resettlement sites for Afghan refugees. In November they visited #TaskForceLiberty in NJ, which is home to 10,000 Afghan guests.
