Hmmmmm --- is this overstated considering we have not a good historical track record here?

THIS IS NOT ACCURATE is it? we no longer use Adobe DE
Ordering for Educators -- do we encourage educators to order from local bookstore or from their CAMPUS BOOKSTORE? BB needs to be updated to UTP but it's confusing as it says all orders must be pre-paid but that is confusing because that is only for direct orders, not bookstores,
Under Our Team can Maternity Leave be replaced with just "on leave" -- i don't think it's necessary to share why they are on leave. May as well add Jazz Cook as well. Also, should we not include our pronouns here?
can the About Us page text be the same as the Publish with Us text? “ We publish critical books for critical thinkers, meaning we are seeking new possibilities for collective thriving, relating, and understanding.
For over thirty years, Fernwood has published for scholarly, academic, literary, and general readers. Our books analyze exploitation and oppression while amplifying struggles seeking to transform a harmful status quo. We publish critical books for critical thinkers, meaning we are seeking new possibilities for collective thriving, relating, and understanding.
Fernwood is politically driven, not profit driven, which means we can take risks in publishing radical analysis and underheard voices. We make decisions about what we publish based on its political integrity and relevance.
Our books are taken up in scholarly research, university and college courses, and by non-specialist readers. Readers choose Fernwood books because they engage with radical ideas and contribute to the structural change we all deserve.
Our commitment to equity and justice applies to all aspects of our publishing process: how we organize our workplace, the ideas we champion, the accessible writing we encourage our writers to develop, and our efforts to keep our books affordable and widely available.
Fernwood works as a guest on unceded Indigenous lands; specifically, we create from Kjipuktuk in Mi’kma’ki, colonially known as Halifax, Nova Scotia, the territory of the Mi'kmaq, as well as in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation, which in 1871 became Treaty 1 territory.
As settlers working in publishing, we have a responsibility to understand and challenge the Canadian state’s history of racist and colonial writing and publishing practices, including the erasure of Indigenous knowledges, the ongoing systemic undermining of oral history and knowledge, and land theft. We dedicate ourselves to respectful collaboration with Indigenous communities in producing critical books.
I think the quote from Errol can be replaced with the quote from the Publish with Us page? Or does that lessen the impact of the Publish with Us page? The old About Us page text is tired sounding.
