We Shall Rise Charity Anthology

Living in the United States, I can see my legal rights eroding day by day. I am doing what I can to write my elected officials, sign petitions, avoid spending money with companies who support the current administration, and donate money to organizations who are fighting for democracy. And signal boosting what I can to help others do the same.

These authors are releasing an anthology to raise money
