On April 10th at 8 PM ET, come join us for a special event: Teacher Town Hall: Sparking Change for LGBTQ+ Youth. Learn valuable insights and strategies from seasoned educators who've used Pride & Less Prejudice's books and resources to create inclusive classrooms. Plus, leaders from Garden State Equality will share tips on fostering acceptance for LGBTQ+ students and handling pushback in your communities.

Kick off 2024 with new resources to create more inclusive classroom communities! Here at Pride and Less Prejudice, we do more than give away free books to teachers – we also provide the tools you need to facilitate meaningful discussions!

Learn about the #ClassroomBookADay initiative and ways you can incorporate these titles into your read alouds along with the policies & language that can help support educators in using diverse books in their classrooms.
