Pride Month is winding down, but people incarcerated across the country need LGBTQIA+ books and resources all year long. 🌈 We get letters requesting q***r and trans content, and donations help keep our shelves stocked with highly requested titles and genres. 📚 Link in bio to donate, and share this post to help spread the word!

LGBTQIA+ people in prison need support all year round, not just during Pride. 🏳️‍🌈 Help us keep our shelves stocked with frequently requested LGBTQIA+ books. From romance to memoirs to sexual workbooks, your donation ensures that we can fulfill the requests of q***r and trans readers across the country, helping them feel seen, supported, and connected. Visit the link in our bio to donate.
Other ways to support? Purchase books from local q***r-owned bookstores to send to WPBP (we ❤️ The Irreverent Bookworm Black Garnet Books, drop your favorites in the comments) or email us about donating your own gently used LGBTQIA+ books. And share this post to help spread the word!

We’ve been slinging pancakes and stirring up grits for a long time! And it happens because volunteers show up to make it possible—mixing batter, loading and unloading supplies, setting up tables, cutting fruit, washing dishes. Here are a few behind-the-scene photos from across the years, and sign up in our bio to help make *this* year’s pancake breakfast a success! 💜 🥞 📚

We’re around the town! Tag us in your flyer pics and send it to your friends, family, neighbors, and group chats. And if you haven’t added it to your calendar, mark April 25 for WPBP’s annual pancake breakfast and book sale. Stop by New City Center between 8a-12p for pancakes, community, and solidarity. Sliding scale, we can’t wait to see you there!

It’s that time of year! 🗓️ Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 25, for Women’s Prison Book Project’s annual pancake breakfast fundraiser. 🥞 Eat pancakes, gather with neighbors, and make sure people incarcerated in Minnesota and across the country can receive books and resources they request. As a completely volunteer-run, grassroots organization, we rely on events like this to fund our work. We also believe that a future beyond mass incarceration and state violence requires all of us working together. 📚 That’s why all the proceeds from our book sale will go to Neighbors Helping Neighbors ( ) to continue ongoing support for immigrant families in our community. We can’t wait to gather with you all. 💜
Come anytime between 8a and noon. It’s pay what you can, with a sliding scale, suggested donation between $10-$20 for adults and $5 for kids. Cash and cards accepted.
