Gender Violence

[close] UPDATE: We're back for 2022! Due to the current COVID-19 crisis, it’s more important than ever for us to decolonize from individualism and reconnect with ways of community care. A feminist book club is a perfect way to work on that Liberation, decolonization, and engage your mind and soul in topics that matter to you. Our goal with this book club is to uncover the ways our current way of living helps to perpetuate a culture of violence that keeps certain people in a place of power and functions with a strict form of hierarchy. We cannot liberate ourselves without the libration of the masses. In this book club, we will focus on reading seminal works by women of color, Queer & Trans folks, and stories of a new world. We are hoping that this book club can both act as a source of support for the community during this time of crisis and also help provide a source of community action building focusing on sharing diverse stories. Because we will be discussing tough topics that deal with the root causes of gender and sexual violence, stories of trauma and pain, LGBTQ+ community, racism & prejudice, and community building, and other historical change makers we suggest that you think very carefully on whether these topics align with your values. Members of the book club will be invited to attend ZOOM book club meetings on the 2nd and 4th Monday's of the month from 6:30 pm- 8:00 pm. Book club members will be sent an invitation over GoodReads and email to participate in the meeting. Book club members will not be required to attend every meeting but are greatly encouraged to participate to ensure the book club's success. Book club members will be accepted on a rolling basis throughout the book club's existence. Each month there will be a new opportunity to join the club by signing an interest form available here: https://tinyurl.com/3t86rrx5
