A Note From Gabrielle David

As a Black/Brown female-led press, 2Leaf Press publishes books by a diverse group of poets, authors, artists, activists and scholars communicating stories and ideas that inform, entertain, educate, inspire, and connect to readers everywhere.

In recent times we have all observed how heightened public awareness has impacted social change and social policy. Consider the power of how storytelling drove change regarding domestic violence, drunk driving, and LGBTQ issues. The authors of 2Leaf Press are telling just such important social impact stories.

2Leaf Press authors examine an American story that does not yet have a happy ending, a tragedy that tells us about ourselves, our condition as a nation. But there are reasons for hope. The authors of 2Leaf Press know ways to tell stories that move us forward. Books published by 2Leaf Press are written to expand storytelling genres in one very critical way – the narratives repair the damage done by previous false storytelling and racial stigmatizing. It is clear that in times such as these, imagination is not only a resource, but also a battleground. We need your help.

It is time to reckon and repair. An era of truth and justice is needed and that is specifically what the authors of 2Leaf Press are bringing. 2Leaf Press authors contest the existing narratives and the operation of power, and illustrate the capacity to reimagine race equity, the criminal justice system, and economic reform. Confronting the contradictions in the American narrative makes for great storytelling!

There are three reasons small independent publishers such as 2Leaf Press are at risk today: no money; no perceived demand by the public; and the silence of the storytellers. Your tax deductible contribution to 2Leaf Press TODAY helps remove all three of these barriers.

Please support 2Leaf Press’ social justice mission and thematic areas of work. Your gift creates a continuing medium for voices to be heard, for invisible people to be seen, for society to be reeducated via a new diet of truth prepared by the master chefs within the 2LP family.

Thank you.
