Our Impact
about 5 years ago — Walnut Creek, CA
Rise Up Against Racism Co-Founder Meg Honey, who also serves as a Library steward, has met with visitors across many generations at her family’s Library. Meg shares: “I love that, at any given moment, there could be a group of children at the Library or an 80-year old neighbor. It’s been wonderful to engage with community members and talk about why these Little Free Antiracist Libraries are so important.”

Rise Up Against Racism centers on the idea that education can radically transform society. We believe in the power of books to open minds, both little and big, to spark conversation and inspire change. Our first step in this work is to enrich our children’s minds with stories from diverse voices and to provide our community with a collection of antiracist books. We started the Antiracist Book Initiative to build Little Free Antiracist Libraries and fill them with antiracist books for children and adults.
