📖 Non-Fiction Book Club:
Join our book club on StoryGraph for deep, meaningful discussions that align with our core values. It’s more than just reading a book, it’s about engaging with important ideas and fostering a community committed to equity and liberation.

📬 How It Works:
Every Monday, we release a new issue on Medium, featuring that week’s new diverse book releases. Each title is thoroughly vetted to ensure alignment with our values. We also provide purchase links to our Bookshop.org storefront, where you can support, the authors and indie bookshops.

🌈 Why We Do It:
Reading diversely matters. It gives us perspectives, empathy, compassion & solidarity. Reading is political, and the books we choose to spend our time & money on make a statement. We are dedicated to aligning our political values & our reading choices and helping others do the same.
