Sunday February 28 - Fundraiser for Toronto Women's Book Store @ The Garrison. The Toronto Women's Bookstore is in crisis and we need your help!
Over the past few years, our sales have not been enough to sustain us and this is why we are coming to you, our community, for help. If every one of you donated $10 we would raise enough to keep going for 3 months, $20 each would keep us in business for 6 months, and $30 each would be enough for us to keep our doors open, hopefully for good. All donations will go directly towards covering the bookstore's costs, and are a part of a larger plan of action and structural change to make the business sustainable in the current economy.
In the past, when feminist bookstores were closing down all across North America, the support of the community is what kept TWB alive. You are the reason that we are still here today, and we believe that with your help we can once again work together to save this organization where so many of us as readers, writers, feminists, artists, and activists have found a home.
Thank you all for your support, The Toronto Women's Bookstore Board, Staff & Volunteers http://www.womensbookstore.com/
