One idea I have for a culture jam is the book ban in Florida. Led by a group called Moms for Liberty, books have been removed from libraries and schools. These books contain subject matter that is deemed inappropriate (race, LGBTQIA+, sexual experiences). I personally don’t believe in banning books and some authors on this list include Toni Morrison and James Baldwin, who write about the African American experience.
Another idea for a culture jam is the current migrant crisis, specifically in NYC. People are being shipped around the country like cargo without regard for their well-being. Many are offered temporary housing in hotels, shelters, or tents. The migrant population includes school-aged children who will enter the public school system.
The third idea I have for a culture jam is student loan debt and how it’s affecting the economy. Also, how it’s affecting borrowers and their quality of life. The national student loan debt is around $1.7 trillion.
These are all really promising, Sybil!
