On Sept 9 1971, inmates at Attica Prison seized control of the prison & presented officials w/ their list of political demands. For 4 days, they organized food distribution, security, medical care & more. On Sept 13, law enforcement stormed the prison killing, torturing & brutalizing those inside.

join @nobordersbooks.bsky.social next week for a conversation with Sandy Hudson and Philip V. McHarris about her book DEFUND! Free RSVP (and options to purchase books in advance) here: givebutter.com/august20

we'll be back at Diamond Dogs on Saturday for another backyard pop-up! the bar is opening early (and will have their frozen drinks available, ofc, along with the rest of their boozy + n/a menu) so we can sling cold brew + books in the back. come say hi!

we're throwing a co-op fest on july 31! books/merch for sale, narcan training, screenprinting, and great bands (one more tba, i promise they're gr8) all benefitting No Borders, Dave's Lesbian Bar, and Bluestockings. $20 suggested donation! get a ticket (or just donate) here: givebutter.com/co-opfest

can't make it to a pop-up? you can still support us by purchasing books via our bookshop page: bookshop.org/shop/NoBorders Or audiobooks via our libro page: libro.fm/nobordersbooks

wowowow thank you to everyone who donated books or funds to the @nobordersbooks.bsky.social book drive! dropped off 820+ books, mostly brand new, for kids (ages 12-17) who are incarcerated in nyc

Happy Indie Bookstore Day! @bookshop.org has FREE SHIPPING this weekend, so it’s a perfect time to buy books for teens who are incarcerated, and there are still plenty of inexpensive options on our registry: bookshop.org/wishlists/70...

btw, we're on Libro.fm now! libro.fm/nobordersboo...

we had an extremely cute time last night!!

last year @nobordersbooks.bsky.social sent 600+ books to Rikers; this year our book drive is for teens who are incarcerated in Brooklyn. please purchase a book if you can—most of these are requested titles, and a $7 Goosebumps book would mean A LOT to a kid in detention bookshop.org/wishlists/70...

btw we already have nine pop-ups lined up for the summer but we'd still love to pop-up at your local business or market (books OR coffee/tea OR both), or to host your event (virtual or IRL)! all proceeds help us secure a permanent home in astoria. DM or email [email protected]

TOMORROW!

NEXT WEEK! We'll be at the Queen's Room with books and merch—and they're extending their happy hour! cocktails + mocktails, coffee, a great food menu, and we will of course have lots of great titles for sale.

You can also support us by shopping via our Bookshop page! Some books we've read and loved this month: TRAUMA PLOT by Jamie Hood (out today!): bookshop.org/a/103572/978... DARRYL by Jackie Ess: bookshop.org/a/103572/978... THE DREAM HOTEL by Laila Lalami: bookshop.org/a/103572/978...

Last weekend's pop-up was sooo fun and we're VERY excited to do more as the weather gets warmer! We'll announce our April event (and more updates 👀) soon but in the meantime, you can support us by donating to help our start-up costs as we secure a permanent home in Queens! gofund.me/d835ab94
