There’s much to be relieved about regarding recent election outcomes, but the fight for reproductive justice doesn’t stop at the ballot box. Prof. @ralmeling and I write in the @sfchronicle : sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo…

In a world that tells us to stay quiet, telling women’s stories is a radical act. So excited to share #ProjectRewrite today - for gender equity in the information landscape today & every day.

NEW: In honor of #InternationalWomensDay and #WomensHistoryMonth, we have launched a new gender equity initiative: #ProjectRewrite. The goal? To call attention to the persistent gender gaps on @Wikipedia and call on everyone to help close them. Join us! medium.com/freely-sharing…

the newest issue of the lovely arts magazine Baram House, w/the apt theme "Strange Summer," is out, including a small (fairy?)tale I wrote with airports on my mind. baramhouse.com/fiction/adora-…


Joyce Svitak Reposted

These students were amazing! We talked about how life feels in these strange times (sleepy and uncertain), that passion for important causes can arise from discomfiting feelings, & what we're willing to fight for (answers included "the earth," "animals," "fairness," "justice")


Great book for students and teachers.

Some ~ personal news ~ Last summer, I started working on a book featuring 45 speeches by kids & young adults who are fighting for a better world. It's out now, and I'd be delighted if you could check it out - for yourself or the kid(s) in your life.

Wrote a bit on my blog about life before and after we started staying at home, and some of the things I've been missing: adorasv.blogspot.com/2020/03/before…

Are you a (parent with a, or a) kid stuck at home looking for some inspiration right now? I read an excerpt from "Speak Up! Speeches by young people to empower and inspire," & added some discussion q's to my website. adorasvitak.com/speak-up.html

the time I spent wielding a racquet in the previous year didn't make me a very competent player, but it did inspire this story baramhouse.com/fiction/adora-…

First review for Speak Up! is out: "From human rights to politics, science, technology, environmentalism, and other areas, this book highlights diverse examples of people whose adolescence proved to be an advantage rather than a drawback." kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/a…

#WikiForHumanRights focuses on improving, adding, and translating @Wikipedia articles on two key topics: youth activism and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). What is the UDHR you ask? We know a resource where you can learn more 🤓 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal… (2/2)
