10% of Event Book Sales Invested in:
CUAV: Community United Against Violence



MODERN TIMES’ ABILITY NOT ONLY TO SURVIVE, BUT TO THRIVE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY.

For over twenty-five years, Modern Times Bookstore's community has been centered in the Mission. It is no coincidence that as the face of the Mission changes, we find that keeping our doors open is increasingly difficult.



In order to insure a vibrant future that centers low-income people, working class Latin@ families, artists, and local business, Modern Times has committed to investing 10% of our event book sales to different organizations working for social justice and community vitality in the Mission.

For the duration of May and June, 10% of all event book sales will be donated towards the activities of Community United Against Violence (CUAV). Community United Against Violence (CUAV) is a multicultural organization working to end violence against and within our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQQ) communities. They believe that in order to end homo/bi/transphobia, we must confront all forms of oppression, including racism, sexism, ageism, classism, and ableism.
