Each month we will read a different book that will have us examine different social injustices, stereotypes, and prejudices that exist in our current world. Whether it be an inspiring coming-of-age novel in the civil rights south, a true story of adversity challenging unjust laws, a beautiful picture book embracing all families, or a book of essays and prose from civil rights activists, this book club will explore all the facets of our shared humanity.

In November our discussion will be on the book She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey.

The Social Justice Book Club is in partnership with Just Communities, Pacific Pride Foundation, Santa Barbara Transgender Advocacy Network, and Showing Up for Racial Justice.
