In all honesty we did not think this story would have such reach! Some ways to support 1️⃣ donate to the shelves (bluestockings.com/free-store or www.paypal.com/US/fundraise...) 2️⃣ check out our members program (withfriends.co/bluestockings) 3️⃣ just spread the word we exist 🩵🩵

Wait, what? Because of Narcan?? I'll go look it up. But Bluestockings is amazing. I've done readings there. Who do we need to fight?

My favorite was the woman signing her petition from New Rochelle.

Luckily for me, this IS my backyard and my Councilmember who I voted for, and yeah, Christopher Marte will be hearing it from both sides.

I'm glad. Bluestockings will need your support, and the support of other neighbors.

A company called Penn South Capital who are the landlords. I bet they'd hate media attention about this

NIMBYs

LES NIMBYs or "I just moved in god why is it loud?" NIMBYs?

Landlords and Karens--the usual lot, unfortunately.

The landlord. Claims a lease violation. Other residential tenants in the building complained.

Books do save lives

I brought the staff doughnuts yesterday and picked up an Antifa booklet. You can too!

Thanks for spreading the word about our local radical bookstore!

My guess is that the landlord either has a new tenant lined up or wants to redevelop the property.
