This little drawing showed up at Affirmations 💛🍋

A young community member raised $200 for Affirmations with a lemonade stand and sent us this along with their donation.

Lemonade stand money, monthly donations, “I can give 10 bucks today” — all of it helps keep Affirmations here for our q***r community.

If you’re able, you can donate at bit.ly/Give2Aff

And to our newest little fundraiser and lemonade stand legend: Thank you. We love you. 💛💛💛

A fundraiser for the Tennessee librarian who was fired for refusing to remove LGBTQ+ books from the children’s section to the adult section has reached over $128,000.

Luanne James, who worked as a library director in Rutherford County, was terminated from her role on 30 March after a vote from the library board.

The GoFundMe, organised by Dianne M, has received more than 3,000 donations at the time of writing, with the funds going “directly toward supporting her family’s basic living expenses during this time”.

“Luanne has dedicated nearly her entire adult life to public libraries, working tirelessly to expand free access to information, technology, and essential services for library patrons and local communities,” Dianne M wrote in the fundraiser’s description.

Dianne M also detailed the impressive impact James had on the library during her tenure, which includes securing around $6 million in grant funding.

“These funds made it possible to create and expand public programs, improve computer access and connectivity, renovate and repair existing facilities, construct a new library building, and the purchase of a bookmobile and wheelchair accessible Sprinter van for community outreach,” the description continued.
