“I see protest as a genuine means of encouraging someone to feel the inconsistencies, the horror, of the lives we are living. Social protest is to say that we do not have to live this way." — Audre Lorde

Hannah Oliver Depp: "For the month of Aug., we were down about 60% year over year... People are in pain, they’re suffering, they’re scared... Not-for-profits who might be aligned with us...fear repercussions if they were seen to support a Black, queer, Asian, disability-owned independent bookstore."
