We stand in solidarity with our trans siblings and are united in our anger at the Supreme Court ruling & EHRC update.

Trans, non-binary and intersex people are facing exclusion from basic aspects of public life.

In 2024, Fossil Free Books brought a motion of solidarity with writers and bookworkers in Palestine.

Following an anti-democratic intervention by UK Lawyers for Israel, the SoA’s Management Committee advised members to vote against the motion. [3]

Happy Earth day! I participated in a weathergram exchange with the Northwest Chapter of the Guild of Bookworkers. These are slips of paper that hold quotes chosen by the participants.

The quote I wrote on mine was:
"It's never too late to be what you might have been"
- George Eliot.
