Hello, friends of the resistance!
In Part 1 of our "Inside Reading Is Resistance" series, you met the Newton Family and learned more about us.
In this 2nd part of our series, I am honored to introduce the team of guest writers, editors, testers, social media experts, and collaborators that I am so lucky to be in community with this winter. I get a lot of questions about how we do what we do, and the answer is....with a lot of learning, unlearning, talking, giving feedback, asking questions, and becoming community with an amazing group of students.
Each season, I facilitate/teach two 6-credit community-based learning courses as part of Portland State University's University Studies Program. These classes are Social Justice in K12 Education and Anti-Bias Education. While I'm technically the instructor of these courses, I am actually a co-facilitator and co-learner in a community exploring anti-racist practice in education. The people who sign up for this course are ultimately my teachers as much as I am theirs. Please learn more about the Winter 2021 group here.
When COVID-19 changed so many things, it also changed the way my courses function. While we used to partner with local education organizations and schools, we found ourselves needing to work virtually, and I shifted all of us over to the work of Reading Is Resistance. And our collective efforts have helped this organization to bloom in such beautiful ways.
This term, we have 30 students supporting Reading Is Resistance as we also do deep learning about our identities, our histories, repairing harm, healing, finding joy, and working with young people with anti-racism at the heart. These students are own voices reading guide authors, reading guide editors, social media experts, reading guide testers (reading with young folx and reflecting on the experience), and work in collaboration with our community partners. They are steeped in the Learning for Justice Social Justice Standards and have committed to ongoing learning around racial justice, abolition, decolonization, and resistance. Look for their work popping up on our website and in our social media over the next few weeks and beyond! And look for them in the world -- living into anti-racist practice in all that they do!

The emphasis on PSU students being the “beating hearts” of Reading Is Resistance really stood out, especially the way it frames reading as something active and community-driven rather than just an individual habit. The idea that students help shape the energy and purpose of the initiative makes it feel very grounded and alive.
It also made me think about how learning communities often grow through shared effort and support, whether in reading groups or even in academic settings where students sometimes look for guidance through services like Research Paper Writing Services UK by Native Assignment Help while trying to bring structure to their ideas. Do you think initiatives like this change how students see reading—as more of a collective act…

I found the section on mobile broadcasting particularly useful for my outdoor events. Knowing how to restream using a portable setup while maintaining a stable connection is a huge relief. Your practical tips on hardware compatibility were exactly what our technical team needed.
