This mailing list was originally set up to communicate with people interested in supporting a potential boycott of the Amazon’s bookstore.
After a great deal of data collection; feedback from you; and conversations with readers, authors, and industry professionals; it was decided that our collective energy would be best utilized getting readers to patronize independent booksellers rather than trying to get them to stop buying books from Amazon’s bookstore.
The #readingblack Movement encourages readers, of all colors, to read books by Black writers and to buy those books from Black-owned bookstores and websites.
If you are interested in helping to promote the movement by using the hashtag and encouraging others to join, please visit the newly created platform readingblack.com. There we will share information and strategies to raise the profile of #readingblack and to help booksellers meet the needs of readers, authors, and publishers.
Please share this email with others you think would support the movement.
