Who here thinks banning books about diversity, equity, and inclusion is a BAD thing for schools? Hopefully, everyone.

I have a phone bank for you. Join Turn PA Blue on Tuesday, 9/21, today, to make calls for the Democratic Central York School Board candidates. This race is off the charts; it's been making national news. The ban is disgusting and clearly racially charged. We need to help elect different people come November 2nd.

Training provided at 5:30, and then you'll dial until 7. Hope you can join. #Pennsylvania #SchoolBoardElections #VoteBlue #CallToAction :CTA:
