A note on ticket prices: We're offering two types of tickets. The paid ticket will be used to make donations to a cause. In the past, we have donated to local bookstores and PPE for Covid-19 healthcare workers. We're currently evaluating social justice organizations for our next set of donations. The FREE ticket is just that, free! Both tickets get you a link to the stories and an invite to attend the live Q&A. We're happy to have you either way.
