  • 1.  IFRT Reads: Project 2025

    Posted Nov 19, 2024 03:44 PM
    With a new administration starting in Washington next year, there has been a lot of discussion of Project 2025, a blueprint from the conservative-leaning Heritage Foundation that would reshape the executive branch to achieve policy goals. As libraries are mentioned a few times in the document, it is important for us to understand the potential consequences so that we can be prepared.
    For this edition of IFRT Reads, we'll be reading four pieces from the American Civil Liberties Union, Forbes, EveryLibrary, and the National Education Association. Please join us on Thursday, December 12th at 2 p.m. Eastern / 1 p.m. Central / noon Mountain / 11 a.m. Pacific for this important conversation. Register for the meeting to get a link for the Zoom session.
