Social Justice Book Group

We strive to learn more about the world outside our own bubbles. We read both nonfiction and fiction on timely topics and in our discussions try to challenge our own assumptions without judging one another.

This group meets the third Sunday of each month at 2:30 p.m.

Leader: Anne Bradley (socialjusticebookgroup@gmail.com).
