Poverty

[close] This will be a place to read together and discuss books, both fiction and non-fiction, that deal mainly with poverty and income inequality as the theme.

[close] For those asking “Why would they say that?” or “How can they think that?”, this is a group where these are not rhetorical questions. We really want to know - whatever your perspective. In this era of social media, I see less of a propensity for critical thinking and learning and more of a drive to shout and turn a deaf ear. We weather socio-economic, racial, religious, political, and other storms with routine frustration and too-often rigorous animosity and slanderous debate. 2020 appears to be one of these storms in our history and developing identity. In this group, we seek to understand. We listen. We think critically and question. Regardless of your position or thoughts on a particular issue, we can all discuss these things through an avenue of books.

[close] We read a variety of book on poverty, social justice, and resilience.
