To that end, this week, we're recommending books that feature Chicago, Washington, DC & Los Angeles as settings. We're also sharing resources and ways you can stay informed, help communities of immigrants, and get involved in whatever way possible.

Fellow Virginians! Check this out. Also, consider reaching out to your county Democratic party. Many are looking for folks to help phone bank, knock on doors, hand out sample ballots at early voting sites and more.

Virginia state elections are November 4th. Virginia is our opening electoral salvo against the administration--a place where control of the State House of Delegates was decided in 2023 by just 975 votes.

The book from the hero image, The Earl That Got Away, is SO good. I got to read an arc and Diana Quincy kills it. Victorian era Palestinian-American heroine + a surprise! he's a British peer now, second chance, a real treat
