Calling all authors, publishers, editors, booksellers, librarians, designers, publicists, agents, proofreaders, literary festival staff and all working in the world of books! We want to build a pro-Palestine, pro-worker, and pro-climate coalition in our industry, and we want you to be involved!

Join Fossil Free Books, Book Workers for a Free Palestine and more for a collective strategy day, thinking through how we organise for building Palestine solidarity and resisting fossil fuel finance in the books industry!

*This strategy will take place across three locations simultaneously, in Edinburgh, London, and online. Please note, this sign-up page is to join the LONDON strategy day.*

Please follow these links to join:

• ONLINE strategy day
  
• EDINBURGH strategy day

The strategy day will include the opportunity to hear what other groups and workers have been doing to resist complicity in the ongoing genocide of Palestinians, think through where our attention is needed most, and work together to develop new strategies of resistance, pressure, and solidarity with the struggle for Palestinian liberation.

We want this event to be as friendly and accessible as possible, so please do let us know if you have any childcare or other access needs that would help you be able to attend the day. Hope to see you there!

We will be asking attendees to the in-person strategy days to please wear masks and take a COVID test before attending, for the protection of all attendees. If you are not feeling well, please attend the online strategy day.

Tea, coffee, and some snacks will be provided, but we please ask attendees to also bring food to share if possible! Though please avoid bringing anything with nuts, and let us know if you have any major allergies in advance.

A Note on Fossil Fuel Finance

We are clear that the oppression of Palestine is an environmental issue, just as it is a migrant justice issue, a racial justice issue, an anti-imperialist issue, and more. Whether it's the devastation of land through occupation, war, and bombing; the contamination and appropriation of water; or the significant cross-overs in investments in fossil fuel companies and Israeli tech, arms, and security industries, including from companies heavily invested in the books industry; the connections between these struggles are unmistakable.
