Thousands of people in Minnesota have been the target of ICE’s violence and illegal actions. People have been injured, kidnapped, shot and killed by ICE in our community. As a Minneapolis-based independent book publisher elevating underrepresented authors, we stand in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors. We denounce the criminalization of migration and the terrorization of our community through militarized enforcement.

Reading is one of the best ways to expand your understanding of civil rights and cultural resistance to inform change. Add these books about resistance by women authors to your reading list.

Book Sales Benefit Initiatives That Support Immigrant Women

When you purchase these titles from Publish Her’s online shop on Bookshop.org, in addition to supporting these authors, you help support members of our community impacted by ICE. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of these titles from our shop benefit immigrant women’s initiatives.
