Join us the last Sunday of every month for PH’s Community Care Club, a monthly book club focused on community organizing and antifascist works. For September we’ll be reading Care Work by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha.

Book club members will receive 15% off the monthly pick in-store. Sign up for the mailing list below.



About the book:

In this collection of essays, Lambda Literary Award-winning writer and longtime activist and performance artist Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha explores the politics and realities of disability justice, a movement that centers the lives and leadership of sick and disabled queer, trans, Black, and brown people, with knowledge and gifts for all.

Care Work is a mapping of access as radical love, a celebration of the work that sick and disabled queer/people of color are doing to find each other and to build power and community, and a tool kit for everyone who wants to build radically resilient, sustainable communities of liberation where no one is left behind. Powerful and passionate, Care Workis a crucial and necessary call to arms.
