Change of plan for this week’s book club meeting. Sorry for the late notice, but we just found out that Kelly Hayes, co-author of our assigned book, Let This Radicalize You, is speaking at Powell’s (downtown) at 7 p.m. this Thursday. She and a contributing writer will be discussing her new edited book, Read This When Things Fall Apart, that explores the similar themes of practical support for “activists and organizers building power under fascistic, demoralizing conditions.” Hard to ignore this happy coincidence, so we decided it would be wise to take advantage of the opportunity to hear directly from the author and be able to ask questions.

Please join us at Powell’s on Thursday evening, whether you’re a regular book club attendee or just curious. If there’s interest, we can convene over a beverage afterwards to carry on the discussion. Finally, since we had already allotted 2 meetings to cover Let This Radicalize You anyway, this won’t disrupt our schedule too much. We’ll just roll over the two readings to our December meeting. More details to come.
