Bookstores Against Borders, a fundraising effort begun July 5, 2019 by A Room of One’s Own Bookstore in Madison, WI, aims to take between 5%-20% of bookstore sales and donate to RAICES, a nonprofit that provides legal aid to refugees imprisoned at the US-Mexico Border.

The campaign has been joined by bookstores nationwide and Cleveland area bookstores Visible Voice Books, Loganberry Books, Mac’s Backs, and The Learned Owl have announced our own participation on Saturday, July 20, 2019. All bookstores have pledged to donate 10% of sales on that day to RAICES via the Bookstores Against Borders fundraising platform.

If you can’t make it to one of our shops on the 20th but would still like to contribute, use this link to donate through classy.org – Visible Voice Books: #BookstoresAgainstBorders

Readers and friends of all four bookstores are encouraged to show up in-store on July 20 to make a purchase in support of the community their local bookstores foster and in support of the more just outcomes that RAICES is working to create for refugees currently being detained by the US government. Those who aren’t able to make it into storefront locations can still donate via the Bookstores Against Borders fundraising page and share news about the event via the #bookstoresagainstbordersCLE hashtag.
