Book bans and censorship are threatening to silence BIPOC & LGBTQ+ voices. The very voices we champion. Independent, mission-driven publishers like LQ are also under threat. We need your support more than ever.

Shed a few tears working on today’s issue of Assembly, my last as its editor! It’s been the privilege of my career creating this @malalafund publication, directing over 120 issues & helping so many young women tell their stories. Can’t wait for Assembly’s next chapter. ✨
