Our mission is to help dismantle racism and discrimination through the promotion of reading materials which focus on amplifying the voices of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, & other People of Colour), 2SLGBTQIA+ (two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, queer, intersex, asexual/agender, +), individuals with physical differences, and other individuals who face inequity, as well as the voices of their allies, so that adults and children alike can move toward becoming better ancestors through education and sustainable change.
Chapters4Change has developed community partnerships, interviewed various changmaking authors, and featured amazing community changemakers. Through offering Learning Circles and featuring monthly books, Chapters4Change is committed to motivating people to Read to Learn & Learn to Change!
