Every day, women journalists in Canada & globally face threats of physical & sexual violence, slurs, & sexual harassment for doing their jobs.

As part of @TheCAOV, #PENAmerica stands w/ @atRachelGilmore @wickdchiq & @caj to call out #onlineabuse as an attack on #PressFreedom.

What's so controversial about neighbors helping an old woman make cholent for Shabbat? That's the story of a picture book removed along with 175 other titles from schools in Duval County, Fla. @PENamerica is protesting. I wrote about it for @jdforward https://forward.com/fast-forward/527511/authors-protest-banned-books-list-in-florida-that-includes-shabbat-picture-book/
