Just Us Book Project
This was the idea - and why we came to Philly. Unfortunately, to date we have not been able to find a partnering organization with space that we can work with...so the Project is on hold for now.
The Just Us Book Project is a broad Social Justice
program promoting literacy and culture operating on a regional level to bring
about positive change both locally and internationally.
The task of The Just
Us Book Project is to promote, encourage and organize ongoing book drives
regionally on campuses and in schools as well with religious and social
organizations and redistribute the collected materials where most needed.
We believe that culture and literacy have
an inherent value beyond quantification and beyond the limits of class
stratification. We believe that culture and literacy are basic human rights
worldwide. The Just Us Book Project mission is to expand access.
We will be collecting books with three target groups in
mind. We are partnering with the African
Library Project to help build
pop-up libraries in Sub-Sahara Africa. We are partnering with organizations
that send books to prisoners in the USA. We are working hand in hand with
various local youth literacy programs.
For donations of 25 or more items, we may be able to
schedule a pick-up. Please call or e-mail.
If you are interested in organizing a book drive or getting
involved in the effort, please contact us because
until there is justice, it’s just us.
