Congratulations on a successful year as REFORMA President @davidlopez85! I had time for exactly one panel at ALA this year, and I'm so glad I chose yours.
I’m still emotional from my @reformanational President’s program at #ALAAC24 what a manifestation of queer joy. Thank you to the panelists and thank you to everyone who was able to come create this space! @ALALibrary
