We will walk through our approach and journey — and demonstrate the power of radical collaboration. We convened a group of over 30 different organizations across the United States working in organizations focused on providing access to books and literacy resources to low-income children and families with the goal of expanding the access to diverse books by:
- Aggregating the group’s collective purchasing power to impact supply, affordability, and access to diverse reading materials;
- Educating, empowering, and magnifying the voice of teachers, clinicians, and families, and give them the voice and the words to advocate;
- Unifying our collective narrative and storytelling around the need for representation and diverse content.
