Elizabeth Gray has been quietly running CommonAct Press for over ten years and has been instrumental in developing our Environmental Footprint and Ancient Forest Friendly policies.

Beth feels proud to be able to send good books out into the world, knowing they help make communities better places to live, particularly when it improves the lives of those whose voices have been diminished. She is happiest when her work reflects, or at least does not contradict, her Indigenous values. A non-status, urban, Mi'kmaq mother and activist, she is one of the few women of Aboriginal ancestry running a publishing company in Canada today. If you know of another, please let us know. Maybe they could get together, have some tea, and share stories.
