One of the ways that we become better allies is through sturdy and self reflection.
Our Good Fight Club book club is one of the places that we can go to be in community and engage in the important work of critical analysis of our own role in perpetuating white supremacy, where we can do better, and then equipping ourselves with the tools to be who our allies need us to be.
Each month we will work through a few chapters and the writing prompts provided by the author.
We will meet via zoom on the first Wednesday of each month to work together.
Our current book is My Grandmother’s Hands by Resmaa Menakem. Please get yours from your local BIPOC owned bookstore.
We meet monthly and will work through this book in the following bite size pieces:
September -> Part I: Unarmed and Dismembered Chapters 1 - 4
October -> Part I: Unarmed and Dismembered Chapters 5 - 9
November -> Part II: Remembering Ourselves Chapter 10 - 17 + Part III: Mending Our Collective Body Chapters 18 - 20
December -> Part III: Mending Our Collective Body Chapters 21 - 24
Our Good Fight Club book club is a donation based event. Funds contributed will be contributed towards a reparations focused social action that we will choose on our last meeting.
