Reading for Change book club

The Reading for Change Book Discussion Group will explore Race and Ethnicity Equity and Inclusion (REEI). Through group discussion, we will expand our knowledge of systemic racism and intersectional social justice issues, examining how we uphold these systems of inequality, and identify steps we can take to combat inequalities. We hope to provide an inclusive space to explore meaningful change. This group will spend two or three months discussing one title so that we have time to unpack the topics in the book and look for ways we can impact change in the community. This book group will meet the last Wednesday of the month at 1:00. 

In August and September, we will be discussing the book White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Race by Robin DiAngelo.

DiAngelo explores counterproductive reactions White people have when discussing racism. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.
