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.
Moms for Liberty, #MarshallPlanForMoms is coming for you. We won't let you roll back progress for our children.
