Hello everyone! I’ve been seeing so many lists lately about problematic authors/authors to avoid. While I think that’s so useful, I’d also like to create a list of authors who we should be supporting/who have been outspoken in support of human rights and other causes.

The only one I know off the top of my head is Sally Rooney, who was (is still)? donating her royalties to Palestine Action in the UK. Please add other suggestions in the comments and I’ll make a list!

Quick note: thank you so much for everyone’s input so far! I’d love for some recs of authors who have been supporting trans rights if anyone knows of any ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️ (I research gender discrimination so it’s a cause close to my heart)

Here is the list so far!
