What is Project LIT Community? We are a national, grassroots literacy movement, a team of dedicated educators and students who work together to:

• Empower our students as readers, writers, and leaders
• Promote a love of reading in our schools and communities
• Support and inspire one another as we improve our practice and pedagogy
• Read, discuss, and celebrate books that make our students feel seen, heard, affirmed, and valued
• Nurture authentic reading identities by increasing access to high-quality books, building community, and fostering a sense of belonging
• Develop our cultural competence and expand our thinking, regardless of individual starting point
• Amplify voices and stories of students and educators of color
• Advocate for literacy policies and practices that will build lifelong readers
• Champion young people and books that reflect their lived realities, communities, and identities
• Rewrite the narrative about which texts and authors are deemed worthy of academic study
• Create as many positive literacy experiences as possible
