[close] Discussion of antiracist books, starting with Ibram X. Kendi's How to be an Antiracist. We will also focus on the 21-Day Racial Equity Habit Building Challenge and Medium's 75 Things White People Can Do for Racial Justice.

[close] "In a racist society, it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be anti-racist" - Angela Davis. It feels like the world is changing, we know that being actively anti-racist will help accelerate the BLM movement and bring us close to a world without racism. Learning, listening and challenging our own implicit bias are all great ways to start this journey so this book group is here to build a community that can come together to have meaningful discussion driven by reading and digesting content relating to racism, colonialism, the history we never taught at school, bias and how we can drive change.

[close] For too long, White people have ignored and perpetuated racism in the U.S. It is a systemic disease, and we can no longer be silent and pretend that it is not our problem. In order to fight for justice, we need to educate ourselves on the issues and how best to tackle them. We need to call out our White brothers and sisters when they commit microaggressions or casual racism. In order to do that, we need to be able to recognize it when it happens. This is our work. The aim of this book club is to bring individuals together to educate ourselves. We know that reading alone can be daunting, and can always be put off to another day. Together we can hold each other accountable. This is a matter of urgency, as we have seen over and over, every day that racism is allowed to fester costs lives. And Black Lives Matter. This group is open to all, regardless of race or location. But we will primarily be reading books about racism in America.

[close] Welcome to The Socially Aware Womxn Book Club. We are all here to learn about the world around us in a socially conscious way. If you would like to join us for meetings you can find us here: https://www.meetup.com/g/thesociallyawarewomxnbookclub/settings/basic/ This group is here to bring together women and LGBTQ individuals who are concerned with topics of social injustice or would like to learn more about these topics through literature. The group title may sound a bit pretentious but the group is not. Please feel free to read the books and not come to the meeting or to come to the meetings when you have not read the book. The goal of this community is to include not exclude. Most meetings explore what we want to do with the knowledge we gained, an exploration of the social system, or a discussion on how the book has changed our understanding things. This is an exploration. Together we will read, meet, and discuss books regarding social issues that our world faces. Through engaging with this content the vision for this group is to connect with each other and seek ways to connect with the issues at hand in our world. My hope is this group provides an opportunity to connect like-minded people over real world challenges. Click here for a link to our book list. Group meetings work to center BIPOC and other under-privileged voices during the discussion.
