RAISING LUMINARIES
Accountability Statement & Policies
March 7, 2026 Update
You can find Raising Luminaries features and services at RaisingLuminaries.com, where we are still active and continuing to provide educational resources for advocates, including support spaces and workshops.
However now that the Earthquakes have aged out of screening kidlit and children's media, we've decided to sunset our ancillary project, Books for Littles.
This means that all content on BooksForLittles.com, including our toolkits, reference guides, and the policies below, are now accessible as a public Books For Littles Legacy Library.
This content within this library is no longer updated or maintained, and exist for reference only.

Raising Luminaries is rooted in the unceeded land of the Wampanoag & Massachusett People.
Land acknowledgements are worthless without action. So we prioritize amplifying Indigenous-lead resources in our toolkits and reciprocate with donations to the Wôpanaâk Language Reclaimation Project.
