woohoo! we got books! and love!
Because Thaura Distro values radical, revolutionary love and we believe that revolutionary love requires action, we announce a fundraiser in support of Stacey "CripChick" and Mia Mingus. Stacey and Mia, two of our favorite compañeras, are making a massive journey. Both literally and figuratively they will be merging homes. You can read about their plans HERE, and find out about another wonderful fundraiser another friend of ours is putting together in their support HERE.
We have decided to put together our own fundraiser to support Stacey & Mia. Aaminah has culled thru her personal library and is selling books!
(Of course, if you aren't interested in any of the books offered but still would like to donate, simply follow the donation instructions below and we will still send you a special gift.)Books are available for a donation. Minimum donation per book is $1, but of course more is appreciated! Thaura Distro will take care of the postage, so you don't need to factor that into price and can be assured that 100% of your donation will go straight to Stacey & Mia. We will also send you a small gift to express our gratitude for your support.
To donate by purchasing books:
- Look thru the list below and decide what book(s) you want.
- Determine how much you are willing to donate (remember, minimum donation is $1 per book, but you are encouraged to donate more if you are able.)
- Leave a comment here specifying which books you want reserved for you so that others can see those books are spoken for pending updates to this post.
- Send an email to thauradistro@gmail.com telling us, again, which books you want and the address to send them to.
- Send your donation via PayPal to niqaabisister@yahoo.com (if you are unable to use PayPal to make your donation, please make arrangements for another form of payment when emailing us at thauradistro@gmail.com)
Books will be mailed out after your donation is received.
