A Vineyard book club that has been meeting for more than 20 years was recently inspired to raise money to support the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Ala., after reading the book Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson.

The book group will hold a yard sale at the home of Liza Coogan, 140 North William street in Vineyard Haven, on Sunday, June 19, Father’s Day. The sale will be held from 9 a.m. to 2. p.m. All proceeds will go to the Equal Justice Initiative. EJI fights against abuse of children in the criminal justice system and the criminal prosecution of kids as adults.

The nonprofit human rights organization provides legal services to the poor, incarcerated and condemned. It works with communities across the country to support criminal justice reform and improve the status of the poor and people of color.
