Buy books for detained migrants!

Migrant Support Collective’s Library Program provides free books to migrants detained throughout the United States.

Each of the below wishlists belongs to a migrant in ICE detention. In honor of Independent Bookstore Week, the Hull Family Foundation is offering a $1,000 match for all purchases made through the wishlists on this page! That means that for every $1 you spend on the below wishlists, Migrant Support Collective gets $1 from the Foundation.

Purchase a book from the wishlists below to send books to migrants in ICE detention!

While it may seem like a small act, buying a book for someone in detention makes a big difference. Folks who receive books through MSC share them with friends while detained, and sometimes do read-aloud groups. When you purchase a book on these wishlists, you’re not just sending it to one person. You’re sending it to a community.
