To our Twitter friends.
It’s hard to function on a platform that is actively opposed to what you stand for.
Because of this we have decided to stop engaging on this platform.
Follow us on IG or Threads (@afroribooks). The shop’s in the same place and our email’s always open 💙
We’ve got the beautiful @DeanAtta joining us on Friday to celebrate the launch of his new book “Person Unlimited” with @BlueBirdTail
Don’t miss it!
Whilst we love to see this new wave of support for the victims in Palestine, it does make us wonder where these people have been? What have you ignored, and why are you paying attention now? And, most importantly, how long will this new solidarity last?

Front-row seats for @jeremycorbyn with @AfroriBooks and Mikaela Loach….
31 years since Stephen Lawrence was murdered
31 years to remind us of the continuous injustice towards black britons
31 years and still killers walk free
31 years and no closure
31 years and we continue to fight
31 years and we keep our hope for a better UK, and a better world
An important read

2019: Theresa May, "After Brexit our environmental standards will not fall"
2024: Oxford rower Leonard Jenkins, "A few guys got e.coli.. I was throwing up this morning.. It would have been ideal not to have so much poo in the water"
World famous #TheBoatRace2024 @theboatrace between Oxford and Cambridge affected by raw sewage dumped into the River Thames after the Conservative party promised our environmental standards would not fall after Brexit. Yet it has been the Conservative party who have repeatedly voted to allow water companies to continue to dump raw sewage in our rivers and seas - shame on them, and on anyone who continues to vote for them
