We should all be looking for ways to support social justice initiatives — because reposting Instagram graphics on racial equality and human rights just isn’t enough. One way to go the extra mile is donating to causes and furthering your education on racial issues. This “Be The Change” Humble Bundle will help you to start decolonizing your reading habits and will also fund initiatives that support social justice and intellectual freedom. 

If you’re not familiar with Humble Bundle, it’s a company that connects indie creators with audiences. This Humble Bundle features e-books and audiobooks created by writers and artists of color, as well as books that feature characters of color, too. It’s a selection of nearly 50 books that will diversify every reader’s library and offer much-needed representation for people of color. 

The “Be The Change” bundle is a partnership between the American Library Association and Humble Bundle that will aid Spectrum Scholarship Program and the Freedom to Read Foundation, among others.
