🥰💜🥰 We really couldn't have gotten through #Mahmoudvtaylor as we did without you! You and our community really are the amazing gift of these times! xoxo

📚 We also honored our departed friend Jack Pearson, who was a loving ally, at great personal cost. We love you forever, dearest Jack!

💜 With Plymouth's gift, we chose to honor @tasslyn.bsky.social, who gave strength, wisdom, and encouragement to the authors/ illustrators named in Mahmoud. She supports students, educators, creators, & community members resisting #bookbans every day. We love you, Tass!

🌈 My family selected these organizations to receive the 2k the Plymouth community raised. They do important work and could use your support, too.
