If we wanted to really bust out the geek speak, we could go with the
Emancipation
Publication Sale  ;)   Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue or create hype
though does it?  OK, what about Dusty Deals Book Sale?  It's not very slick,
but it is simple and probably conjures up happy associations for anyone
who's ever found a good book at a book sale (and those with the vintage
vinyl mindset).

Below is the result of some brainstorming I did.  Maybe if we add more words
to a list like this, we'll come up with a way to fit some of them together
in a way that resonates with everyone.

*Forgiveness*

*Merciful*

*Grace*

*Redemption*

*Abolition*

*Independent  *

*Advocacy*

*Emancipation*

*Restoration*

*Sanctuary*

*Deliverance*

*Enlightenment*

*Sovereign*

*Truth*
