The Phinney Books Resist List
What to do in the age of Trump? Every week, we're featuring, here and in our store, a rotating list of a dozen or so books that in some way—through education, inspiration, or infuriation—speak to the idea of resistance. Twenty percent of all sales of those books during the week will go to the American Civil Liberties Union. (You can see our previous selections here.)
