Sharing this here so it gets out. Fash in the Portland area are targeting a drag story time at a library in Tigard, Oregon on June 11th. Please share this widely, especially if you are in the Portland area. Boost boost!
UPDATE: the library has cancelled the event and chosen to close the entire library for the day. Unfortunately, this counts as a victory for the fash. I understand the fear, I truly do, but we cannot let them scare us into hiding, this is not the way! We stand up to hate, being scared into hiding only shows that violent posturing is an effective tactic for them. They've been given what they want, no drag story hour, and now no community library for the whole day. Libraries are hubs of services that are vital to many people.
