If you’re in New York City today (perhaps for one of the anti-Trump rallies), keep an eye out on the subway. Actress Emma Watson says she’ll be hanging out, handing out Maya Angelou books.

Today I am going to deliver Maya Angelou books to the New York subway. Then I am going to fight even harder for all the things I believe in.

Watson already pulled the stunt in the London tube, handing out Angelou’s memoir Me & Mom & Me. And she’s got support from another well-known author.

Emma Watson also started a book club on GoodReads, though you could just wait to run into her in your city’s public transportation system.
