Firestorm Books","description":" Today, we\u2019re sharing an interview with an Ashville-based collective called Firestorm Books. For those not already acquainted with our Appalachian comrades\u2019 work, Firestorm Books is a queer, feminist, anarchist collective operating a co-op bookstore and social movement space. Esm\u00e9, Ash, and Libertie sat down with me this past week to talk about starting up their cooperative business, the tensions and dynamics of running a horizontal, collaborative workplace, how they thwart hierarchy interpersonally, and\u2013perhaps most importantly\u2013their ongoing fundraiser to purchase a new storefront just up the road from their current location.
