Bookstores Against Borders

Bookstores Against Borders is a movement where independent bookstores collaborate to oppose restrictive immigration policies, borders, and barriers that divide communities. They promote the idea that books and bookstores can serve as spaces of openness, understanding, and connection across different cultures and backgrounds. By supporting these stores, the movement advocates for the free flow of ideas, empathy, and solidarity, emphasizing that books can help bridge divides and foster a more inclusive, compassionate society. Essentially, it’s about using bookstores as platforms to challenge borders—both physical and ideological—and promote unity through literature.
