Who We Are

Bookstores Against ICE is a solidarity campaign led by independent bookstores choosing to turn our spaces into places of visible support and real action.

Through community-powered merch and collective participation, we are raising funds for immigration legal aid and direct mutual aid — because bookstores have always been more than retail spaces. They are gathering places, conversation starters, and safe corners in hard times.

This is about showing up in the ways we can, together.
