Hoodwinked in the Hothouse Print Run Collab
Deadline: July 29, 2022
The Hoodwinked Collaborative is initiating a “Print Run Collaboration” campaign. We are reaching out to all of the grassroots organizations who requested booklets, as well as some well-funded big green groups who may be interested in subsidizing those who cannot afford to pay and making sure that more of these books get into the hands of frontline community organizers and a wide variety of educators. We are also opening this crowd-funding campaign to the general public, because we have seen such high interest and we want these powerful books to be distributed as widely as possible.
