A Novel Community Book Club: Democracy in Retrograde

Do you want to be more engaged in your communities but don’t know where to start? Do you feel as overwhelmed by the need to get involved as you do by the sheer amount of work to be done? A healthy democracy demands we all have a seat at the table, but what happens after we sit down? Can civic engagement really be considered self-care?

Join Lillian for a discussion of DEMOCRACY IN RETROGRADE, a book that will “help you learn about much more than just political action. This book will provide a new lens through which to see yourself: a new and powerful light which bridges the personal and the political. In the words of Joan Baez, action is the antidote to despair, and with this helpful guide, even if Mercury is in retrograde, our democracy doesn’t have to be.” At this meeting, we’ll tackle some of the discussion questions in the book, reflect on the main takeaways, and discuss the Civic Personalities and Mission Statements that the book guides us to identify. DEMOCRACY IN RETROGRADE asks us to interrogate our own motivations and goals, and through group discussion we hope to ignite conversations, spark connections within our civic communities, and ignite inspiration in each other and ourselves!
