Join the Flip Grid

PEN America finds that literature on race and civil rights are disproportionately subject to bans, often on the grounds that such texts threaten to disrupt a prison’s social order. Often entire categories of books are banned, and these often reflect discriminatory approaches to regulation.

Watch the video and read pages 3-4 of the document then answer 2 of the following questions:

- What can you do this week to take advantage of your freedom to read?

Ever since she got pregnant freshman year, Emoni Santiago’s life has been about making the tough decisions—doing what has to be done for her daughter and her abuela.

The one place she can let all that go is in the kitchen, where she adds a little something magical to everything she cooks, turning her food into straight-up goodness.

Even though she dreams of working as a chef after she graduates, Emoni knows that it’s not worth her time to pursue the impossible. Yet despite the rules she thinks she has to play by, once Emoni starts cooking, her only choice is to let her talent break free.

2. Articulate the need for equity-rooted civic education
3. Engage adult advocates and allies around youth civic needs from a student-focused perspective
4. Leverage communication and advocacy skills developed throughout the program to engage with decision-makers and public institutions to influence outcomes in their community
5. Understand the relationship between civic knowledge, civic engagement, and social influence skills as tools necessary to navigating civic institutions
