This celebration is co-sponsored by our friends at Haymarket Books
Please RSVP by Fri, Sept 4 so we know how much food to get! All ages welcome.
Feel free to bring book donations: Check out our wish list. Paperback thrillers, fantasy, sci-fi, comics are always welcome!
In 2026, we’re celebrating 25 years of publishing “Books for Changing the World.” In those 25 years, we’ve helped build critical space and infrastructure for radical ideas and movements on the left to grow. That work of institution-building and popular political education has never been more necessary or more urgent. We need your help to continue to do this work.
