Librarians know resources! REFORMA, the National Association to Promote Library Services to Latinos and the Spanish Speaking, is a group of librarian educators and advocates. Last month they released a curated list of valuable resources.

"In times of uncertainty and upheaval, access to accurate, compassionate, and empowering information is essential. The Resistencia y Asistencia Resource List was compiled by REFORMA’s Resistencia y Asistencia Task Force, a collective formed in 2025 as direct response to the urgent needs facing our communities under the current administration and the ongoing civil unrest affecting our nation. This curated list brings together national, state, and local resources focused on immigration, LGBTQ+ issues, mental health, and legal support."

Check out the list and visit REFORMA for more information.
