Bestselling biographer Kitty Kelley has long been the backbone of the Independent, and now she’s the face of it, too! We’re thrilled to reveal our new “Read and Write Fearlessly” tote bags, one of which can be yours for a donation of $100!

This is about more than carrying your books in a stylish way, though. When you support the nonprofit Independent, you’re signaling your belief that reading matters, that thinking matters, and that the free exchange of ideas — at a time when the world seems increasingly hostile to it — matters.

To get your bag, email [email protected] after you’ve made your $100 donation and tell us where you’d like it shipped. We’ll take it from there.

Thank you for your ongoing support during these incredibly challenging days. We’re so grateful you’re in this thing with us!
