Social Issues

[close] Do Good Book Club is a donation based book club centered around building awareness of social issues and supporting local nonprofit organizations.

[close] Friends, would you care to partake in a learned discussion of current events, the global economy, writing, selling, film, and reading? Then gift us with the honor of your sophisticated opinions, queries and humor on board our trireme of World, Writing and Wealth and sail the seven seas with us!

[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.

[close] Library workers with their radical librarian agenda, based in and around Portland, ME. We love books and each other.
