Join our anti-fascist book club:
READ FOR DEMOCRACY
We read a new book every month, then take coordinated action to defend democracy ✊
Host your own book club in conjunction with our monthly live stream: Watch our 20 minute live-stream for a short discussion (we always invite the author but we can’t promise they’ll attend!) + suggested DEFEND DEMOCRACY action items, then discuss the book with your own crew at your home, coffee shop, or local library!
Plan your own local READ FOR DEMOCRACY book club:
Schedule your Sept 28, 1 - 3 PM CST event your favorite coffee shop, local library, church, community space, etc (we do not necessarily recommend inviting strangers to your home!)
Download the flier template and add your own details, specifying location, time, zip code, etc of your event
Invite people by posting it online, emailing your friends, starting a social media group, etc
Livestream our 20 minute discussion from 1:10 - 1:30 PM CST on Sunday, September 28 (livestream instructions will be on THIS PAGE!) then have your own discussion with your community, and take part in the action items we recommend ✊
Email us for support organizing a grassroots READ FOR DEMOCRACY book club in your city or town: bookclub@handsoffcentraltx.org
In September we’re reading:
The Trouble with Reality: A Rumination on Moral Panic in Our Time by Brooke Gladstone
(AKA how we got here in the first place!) This is a very short book so you should be able to catch up in time for the livestream & your local book club meet-up. Enjoy!
