The Social Justice Book Club meets on Zoom on the third Thursday of the month at 6:00 PM to discuss social issues that affect our lives. Here are the Social Justice Book Club books and dates for the rest of the year.  We won’t meet in August because of the Fair.

We will meet via Zoom at 6 pm on Thursday, January 23 to discuss Make Trouble by Cecile Richards. All are welcome. Contact the church office or Marnie Stein for the link.

“From Cecile Richards—the president of Planned Parenthood, daughter of the late Governor Ann Richards, featured speaker at the Women’s March on Washington, and “the heroine of the resistance” (Vogue)—comes a story about learning to lead and make change, based on a lifetime of fighting for women’s rights and social justice.

Cecile Richards has been an activist since she was taken to the principal’s office in seventh grade for wearing an armband in protest of the Vietnam War. Richards had an extraordinary girlhood in ultra-conservative Texas, where her hell-raising parents—her civil rights attorney father and political activist mother—taught their kids to be troublemakers. In the Richards household, the “dinner table was never for eating—it was for sorting precinct lists.”  Goodreads
