Reading the Resistance
Welcome to Reading the Resistance, a local group dedicated to fostering meaningful change and empowering individuals who want to actively resist the harmful impacts of the Trump administration. Through a combination of decompression events, book discussions, and educational resources, we aim to create a supportive space where like-minded individuals can come together to learn, share, and take action. Our book club will focus on reading and discussing books from the banned book list, exploring themes of freedom, justice, and resistance. By reading these essential works, we encourage critical thinking, open dialogue, and a deeper understanding of the values we must protect. In addition to our book club, we will provide resources to help members stay informed and get involved in local activism. We'll share information on local representatives, provide strategies for effective advocacy, and discuss ways to take action in our communities to resist injustice and oppression. Join us as we stand together, read critically, and fight for the future we believe in.
