Throwback Thursday
Tumblr media
Let’s go back to the Summer of 1984 in North Manchester, Indiana when I won 1st place in the annual Fun Fest Parade, doing a mime act in a borrowed Mustang, and representing my employer at the time, The News Journal.

Bill Criminalizing Librarians Revived - again.
April 21, 2023: After the sound defeat of language calling for felony charges against librarians and educators in SB 12 and SB 380 earlier in April, the Indiana legislature is once more considering criminalizing librarians and educators for the materials on their shelves.
Here's the Indiana Capital Chronicle on the situation:
The legislators themselves don't know yet what bill the language will be slipped into, but we expect they'll hear it next week, possibly as early as Monday, April 24.
What To Do:
They're moving fast, so if you live in Indiana and feel strongly about libraries and censorship, please call your reps and senators NOW. Even if you already contacted them earlier this session!
Here's how to find and contact your legislators: https://iga.in.gov/legislative/find-legislators/
Here are some talking points and the general gist of our concerns:
Charging librarians and educators with felonies is not an appropriate response to the issue of challenging books.
It is a librarian or educator’s job to ensure that children have access to a range of well-reviewed quality books. They are trained and follow objective processes for material selection.
Libraries and schools already have processes in place for challenging books on their shelves, and these processes work.
And here's our own webpage where you can catch up on the situation and stay updated: https://www.lcplin.org/billupdates
If you don't live in Indiana:
Please do not contact the Indiana legislature about this! Instead, you can just hit that reblog button and help us reach as many people as possible.
Thank you, everyone, for your continued support of libraries and librarians!!
EDIT: This version has been getting notes lately - please see the final update from 4/28/23 to see how everything resolved. (It was a bit of a mixed bag.) Thank you!

Making a more concise post about this. A bill called HB 1291 is going to be considered by the Indiana House Committee on Judiciary. This bill would erase legal recognition and protections for transgender people in Indiana by laying out transphobic legal definitions for words like "woman" and "father" and by changing every instance the bill authors could find of the word "gender" in state legal code to "biological sex."
Here is a link to the list of who is in the House Committee on Judiciary. The chair, vice chair, and all of the majority members are Republicans. I am very scared, but I don't want us to go down without a fight.
Here is a call script for contacting each of the thirteen committee members:
"Hi, my name is [full name]. My address is [home address], and my phone number is [number]. I am reaching out to [rep] in regards to the upcoming House Bill 1291, which would remove legal recognition and protections for transgender people in the state of Indiana. This bill would ruin and end countless people's lives. It cannot be allowed to pass. Please oppose HB 1291. Thank you for listening."
If you are from a committee member's district, you can throw in a threat to not vote for them in the next election if they don't oppose this bill. You can check who your Indiana state house representative is here. Should be listed at the very bottom.
EDIT: I've added a list of the committee members' names and phone numbers in the notes!
