⭐️SAVE THE DATE: 12-5-26⭐️

⭐️Hey fam, comment below if you’re looking forward to this. We hope your summer is going well whether you are resting, traveling, or hustling. We have some good news to share. We’d like to announce the date for the next Social Justice Children’s Book Fair which will take place on Saturday December 5th in Oakland California at Emerson Elementary School. It’s hard to imagine, but this will be our 10th year!!!!! We are super excited to share this milestone with you and we would love to have you there so please mark your calendars. More info to come!

⭐️Testimonials?

Also, last year we launched a $5k fundraising pitch to match a grant we received and we’ll be doing it again soon. Would you help us by providing a testimony about how the fair has impacted or inspired you? We’d love video, audio, or written testimonies. Respond to this message and we’ll follow up.

Thank you!

-2026 Organizing team
