The racist governor of Florida continues to escalate his attacks on the freedom to learn and teach history. We at Haymarket stand in solidarity with all those in Florida and across the country who are organizing to resist. We know that the books we publish are dangerous to those in power, especially when they are in the hands of those who are organizing to fight for liberation. That’s why we publish them. That's why they’re trying to ban them.
In light of this recent round of attacks on the freedom to read, we are committed to sending Haymarket titles to Florida. If you’re a young person looking for radical books to read and share, an educator looking to grow your library, or part of an organization that’s in the fight, please look through our catalog for available titles: www.haymarketbooks.org.
At the moment, we are only sending copies to folks in Florida and we are limiting each request to one copy. If you'd like more, please reach out to us at dana@haymarketbooks.org and include "Florida Book Request" in the subject line. We will try to process your request within two weeks of receiving the completed form.
Of course, any discussion of book censorship must also include the rampant banning of books in prisons (which is a problem in every state). As a reminder, we also make our books available for free to folks who are incarcerated through our
Books Not Bars program.
The struggle is long, but we are many.
