Emily Drabinski -Presidential Candidate for ALA- endorsed by Randi Weingarten, President, American Federation of Teachers

In the face of increasing challenges to school library books and teachers’ curricula, we need a strong American Library Association defending free inquiry in our shared pursuit of the public good. Emily Drabinski knows how to organize and mobilize on behalf of library workers and our communities. As a member of the American Federation of Teachers, she was a leader in the fight against the first lockout of college faculty in the history of American higher education. That’s the kind of experience we need in leadership positions in all kinds of institutions right now. Emily will provide the tools library workers need to strengthen the entire library ecosystem—including school librarians who serve the multiple constituencies of administrators, parents, and students.
