Lensabl for Anti-Racist Children's Books

Lensabl stands with the #blacklivesmatter movement, and understands that change needs to come now. To that front, we are raising money from our community, and will match donations totaling up to $2,500. 100% of the money raised will be donated to Conscious Kid's General Fund. Our personal donation will go towards The Conscious Kid's Anti-Racist Children's Books Education Fund.

More about the Anti-Racist Children's Books Education Fund:

"To counter racist socialization, structural racism, and racial bias, experts recommend acknowledging and naming race and racism with children as early and as often as possible (Baron & Banaji; Derman-Sparks). Children’s books are one of the most effective and practical tools for initiating these critical conversations with children, and can also be used to model what it means to resist and disrupt oppression.

All donations made here go to a dedicated fund for us to get children’s books from our list of “41 Children’s Books to Support Conversations on Race, Racism, and Resistance” into classrooms across the country.

Beyond addressing issues of race and racism, these children’s books focus on taking action. They highlight resistance, resilience, and activism, and seek to empower youth to participate in the ongoing movement for racial justice. Children not only need to know what individual, systemic, and internalized racism looks like, they need to know what they can do about it."
